Set Norton to remove scripts that can be exploited
in phishing attempts
Script Control helps protect you from malware that you download or receive as attachments
in phishing emails. It removes uncommon scripts from files and sanitizes the files, by default
**
.
However, you can restore the original files with the script, and configure how you want Norton
to handle documents with embedded scripts.
Note: **For Chrome, Edge, and Internet Explorer browsers, this feature is supported from
Windows 10 RS2 and later versions.
In addition, Norton blocks programs with embedded scripts from running if it detects any
uncommon behavior with the embedded scripts. However, you can configure how you want
Norton to handle programs with embedded scripts.
Scripts are used to make documents dynamic and interactive. Although the primary objective
of scripts is to improve the document experience, cybercriminals can use them to sneak
malware on your computer. Scripts are generally not important to the function of a document
and many software programs disable them by default.
You can set Norton to exclude specific files from Script Control if you are confident that they
do not contain malicious content. For more information, See “Exclude files and folders from
Norton Auto-Protect, SONAR, and Download Intelligence scans”
on page 35. You can restore
the original files by replacing the sanitized files. You should exclude files only if you are confident
that they do not have any malicious content.
