I’ve heard bad things about Norton Internet Security but I NEVER thought it would be THIS annoying. So I have this file that is 100% harmless but according to Norton IS 08, it is a Trojan Horse. I used to have Kaspersky but subscription ran out and went for Norton this time, Kaspersky never detected the file as dangerous and I’m 100% sure there’s nothing wrong with the file, however, Norton IS keeps deleting the file without giving ME any say in this, it just deletes it and that’s it? WTF?!
Then I have to go through the process of opening Norton and restore the file. There’s no option to “ignore” the file. I added the folder where the file is to the “Risk scanning exceptions” and to the “auto protect exceptions”, however, it STILL deletes the file.
This is frustrating me now and the only option I have is to turn off the “Auto-Protect” which would leave me vulnerable to a hell bunch of things. HELP!!!
