Learn more about Norton Script Control
Scripts are used to make documents dynamic and interactive. They can also add functionality
by automating certain tasks. Scripts can include ActiveX controls, add-ins, data connections,
macros, Linked object linking and embedded OLE files, color-theme files, etc.
Script Control helps protect you from malware that you download or receive as attachments
in phishing emails.
It removes unsafe 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.
The following sections help you with configuring the Script Control settings.
Restore the original file with embedded scripts
You can restore the original files by replacing the sanitized files. You should restore the original
files only if you are confident that they do not have any malicious content.
