Restore a file that was mistakenly identified as a security risk
By default, Norton removes security risks from your computer and quarantines them. If you
think a file was mistakenly removed, you can restore the file from Quarantine to its original
location and exclude it from future scans.
Restore a file from Quarantine
Note: Exclude a program from the Norton 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.
