The more Bozons emitted by a manager The higher he is in the chain of command. The symbol is the greek letter Beta with chevrons and rockers, like a sergeant's stripes. This is why I "Exclude" Norton from my confuser. Windows Defender suits my needs and wants just fine. I use Microsoft Security Essentials and I run Malwarebytes occasionally as a backup, but between those and judicious browsing habits I haven't had any issues. Besides, Norton's much to chatty for my taste. Whenever I get a new computer with it pre-installed, every time it pops open a window to tell me it did something I grumble, "Whaddaya want, a medal?

I told it to "fix". It deleted the file. And hey, guess what, the program no longer worked. I'd prefer to have an "ask me" setting with options to delete, download, or quarantine. Perhaps that is what NS actually does Some excerpts from the Product Manual underlining is mine :.

By default, the Norton product removes the security risk from your computer and quarantines it. If Auto-Protect detect one or more viruses it either repairs or deletes the viruses and notifies you. This category includes the security risks or the infected files that your Norton product has detected and then repaired, quarantined, or removed.

If the file that you download is infected with a cloud virus identification, your Norton product removes the file from your computer and notifies you with the threat details.

Like you, I am not running the new Norton Security. The settings you mentioned in your post appear to be associated with the old Norton Internet Security. Perhaps the new Norton Security's settings are different? I just cannot find them in the manual.

It appears that files are treated differently based upon whether they are thought to be infected with a virus, thought to have a bad reputation when being downloaded, are already downloaded but start to act suspiciously when run, etc? Under what conditions and based on what settings is the user given a choice remove or quarantine ; under what conditions is the user not given a choice file automatically deleted?

Perhaps it's just me I do not know if Norton Security has similar settings. In this case, the Norton product automatically removes the threats and notifies you. Do we have to re-write the manual. You better order a Pizza. The product manuals may even be the same. I've changed mine to Ask Me They are two separate, independent protections, and the options specific to one do not apply to the other.

It really would be helpful if someone with knowledge of how all of Norton Security's features work , could describe the options available especially as they relate to whether one has the ability to choose quarantine versus automatic delete for features such as SONAR, Antivirus, Download Intelligence, etc, etc.

I think that part of my confusion after reading the Product Manual is that each feature might have different choices for their respective options. One feature might give the user an "ask me" choice, another feature may only have the choice of "delete" with no option to change the choice , etc. I would just like to understand the various choices for each of the major features A simple table with one column being "major feature" and the second column being "choices for options".

See this thread. Perhaps that problem was caused by having set "ask me" in one feature while another feature with some other setting was the one that actually deleted the OP's file?

That is why I started this thread The answer to the question "Can NS quarantine and not delete unsafe files", the answer is yes. As noted by other postings in this thread, the default is to have NS "remove" the unsafe files. There is a temporary "pop up" window from NS that announces that it is scanning the downloaded file, then there is a second pop up window that says it is either "safe" or is "unsafe" and has been removed.

If you are not looking for the temporary pop up window, you could miss seeing it. NS actually "quarantines" the file. Then search for the history entry that "removed" the file. It should be color coded "orange" medium" or "red" high risk.

Once you locate the line item entry, click on it once, then detailed information should appear on the right hand side of the window. Click on "restore" and you will be given the option to restore the file out of quarantine. To learn more about why NS "removed" the file, click on "options" instead of "restore" you will also be able to "restore" after selecting "options". But I am still confused Does one have to first change the default setting from "remove" or "automatic"?

I am sorry for all of my questions I do not have Norton Security I understand the mechanics of restoring a quarantined file I just do not know of all the settings that must be changed from their defaults in order to be sure that potentially unsafe files which could actually be false positives are quarantined and not deleted by whatever feature of NS scans the file Yes, I have On Always On.

I like that second dialog window with Always. Always: When you set the Show Report on Launch of Files option to Always, Download Insight prompts you for a suitable action in case of safe and unknown files. The Download Insight window appears whenever you try to open any downloaded file that has a safe or an unknown reputation score. You can view the details about the file and the options that let you select a suitable action for the file. The above NIS documentation describes what will happen if the file is judged to be safe or unknown.

It does not say what will happen if the file is judged to be unsafe and especially what would happen if the "unsafe" judgement is a false positive and the user wants to keep the file. To improve results, antigen tests should be used twice over a three-day period with at least 24 hours and no more than 48 hours between tests. Note that these recommendations on ending isolation do not apply to people with moderate or severe COVID or with weakened immune systems immunocompromised.

See section below for recommendations for when to end isolation for these groups. Day 0 is the day of your positive viral test based on the date you were tested and day 1 is the first full day after the specimen was collected for your positive test. Follow additional recommendations for masking and restricting travel described above.

People who are severely ill with COVID including those who were hospitalized or required intensive care or ventilation support and people with compromised immune systems might need to isolate at home longer. They may also require testing with a viral test to determine when they can be around others.

CDC recommends an isolation period of at least 10 and up to 20 days for people who were severely ill with COVID and for people with weakened immune systems. Consult with your healthcare provider about when you can resume being around other people. Close contacts of immunocompromised people — including household members — should also be encouraged to receive all recommended COVID vaccine doses to help protect these people. In certain high-risk congregate settings that have high risk of secondary transmission and where it is not feasible to cohort people such as correctional and detention facilities, homeless shelters, and cruise ships , CDC recommends a day isolation period for residents.

During periods of critical staffing shortages, facilities may consider shortening the isolation period for staff to ensure continuity of operations. Decisions to shorten isolation in these settings should be made in consultation with state, local, tribal, or territorial health departments and should take into consideration the context and characteristics of the facility.

This CDC guidance is meant to supplement—not replace—any federal, state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws, rules, and regulations.
