I was just trying to install protobuf 3.0.0-alpha1 on windows using MSYS and MinGW, and it fails at checking if my C compiler works. Just as it fails each time, my Norton auto-block window comes up and says that it blocked a.exe because it contains SAPE.heur.3161 virus.

Anyone know what to do about this?

Try turning your antivirus off. It sounds like it is improperly detecting a test program compiled by the configure script (which is done to check if the compiler works) as a virus and deleting the resulting executable. This is leading the configure script to conclude that your compiler doesn't work.
