New 2017 CX-5 owner for 5 days. I'd like to install the Mazda Connect Toolbox application on my Windows 10 laptop for map updates but...

Went to http://infotainment.mazdahandsfree.com/navigation-updatemymaps?language=en-US to follow download instructions but got the following:

Quite certain this is a false positive so I instructed Norton to restore the quarantined executable and installed the software.

Updated my North American maps to the January, 2017 version. Build date on my CX-5 was 03/2017 so not sure what Mazda North America uses for their initial SD content.
 
Any noticeable changes from what was on the 17 prior to updating?

Only having the vehicle for a week, didn't notice any significant changes. Typically these 'map' updates contain primarily updated POI (points of interest).
