Problems with Norton Removing or Quarantining Software
« on: 21 September 2014, 20:22:22 »
The reputation of the Ideas R Us website is very low, and so Norton will flag any downloads as potentially a virus or malware (false positive).

Thanks to Helen (crafty49) on what to do: -

Tell her to go in to Norton
Advanced
Quarentine
Restore

I have Internet Security and just checked what I've put which is what I did.

below is from Norton itself

I excluded you from all scans as well if you get my drift


To exclude from scans

Advanced
Settings
Items to exclude from scans
Add

Above is what I did

This is another way
