No, it doesn’t. If you override Norton, you are on your own.
That’s why, when downloading in Internet Explorer, you should never use the RUN Button, instead “always” use the SAVE Button. Then, scan each downloaded file before you attempt to install it.
TIP: This is also why Firefox doesn’t have a RUN Button, and is safer to use than IE.
