Yeah the two image files it's flagging from DisplayFusion are fine, I'm not sure where the chrome entries are coming from, but they aren't from DisplayFusion.

If you can whitelist DisplayFusion in Norton it should make the installs smoother

Just wanted to update that I don't think this is necessarily a DisplayFusion issue, although the files it was trying to delete are odd...
I got a Norton "Data Protector" alert when trying to edit a file that Notepad++ told me needed Admin mode. I don't know if this is a new Norton feature or something I accidentally turned on, but you can probably consider this issue closed.

I've just installed DisplayFusion 10 B26 in order to fix the taskbar icon issue in Win 11 (thanks!)
During the install, I received 4 "Data Protector" Norton alerts, 2 regarding DisplayFusionSetup.exe during install, then 2 more after rebooting regarding DisplayFusion.exe.
In all instances, the alerts were "Data Protector blocked a suspicious action by DisplayFusionSetup.exe" (or DisplayFusion.exe)
The files were
C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\RollupImages\1.png
C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\RollupImages\10.png
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ammjkodgmmoknidbanneddgankgfejfh\3.0.1_0\assets\sound\ping.ogg
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ammjkodgmmoknidbanneddgankgfejfh\3.0.1_0\icon\icon-128.png

Edited to add the "Action Observed" is "Suspicious process attempted deleting a file protected by Data Protector"
