About Signature Exclusions
Norton Internet Security lets you select specific known
security risks and exclude them from Norton Internet
Security scans. Exclude a risk from Norton Internet
Security scans only if you have a specific need. For
example, if another program relies on a security risk
program to function, you might decide to keep the
program on your computer. You might also decide not
to be notified about the program in future scans.
w
When you exclude a known security risk from Norton
Internet Security scans, the protection level of your
computer reduces. You should exclude items only if
you are confident that they are not infected.
To exclude a security risk from scans, you need to add
the specific security risk to the Signature Exclusions
window. The Signature Exclusions window contains
the list of all security risks that can be excluded from
Norton Internet Security scans. For each security risk,
you can view the risk details and the effect of the risk
on your computer.
To add security risks to the Signature Exclusions
window, go to the Norton Internet Security main
window, and then click Settings > Computer >
AntiVirus and SONAR Exclusions > Signatures to
Exclude from All Detections > Configure.
Adding items to the Signature Exclusions
