Exclude files with low-risk signatures from Norton
scans
Norton Signature Exclusions let you select specific known security risks to exclude from Norton
scans. For example, if a legitimate app, like a free game, relies on another program, like
adware, to function, you might decide to keep the adware, even if it exposes you to risk. You
might also decide not to be notified about the program in future scans.
Note: Exclusions reduce your protection and should be used only if you have a specific need
and fully understand the potential risk of excluding known threats from Norton scans.
