What to do if a security risk is found
Your product provides many solutions and features for
handling viruses and other security threats that it
detects.
When Norton AntiVirus detects a security risk on your
computer, you must take appropriate action on the
risk. Norton AntiVirus notifies you when it detects a
security risk. You can view details about the risk in the
window that appears and select an action that you want
Norton AntiVirus to perform on the risk.
By default, Norton AntiVirus removes the security risk
from your computer and quarantines it. However, you
can restore the file from the Quarantine to its original
location and exclude it from future scans.
w
Exclude a program from Norton AntiVirus scans only
if you are confident that the program is safe. For
example, if another program relies on a security risk
program to function, you might decide to keep the
program on your computer.
In some cases, Norton AntiVirus requires your
attention to manually resolve the detected security
risk. You can access the Symantec Security Response
Web site and refer the manual removal instructions.
