infected file. Threats and security risks can appear
during an instant messenger session, when sending an
email message, or during a manual or scheduled scan.
If Norton AntiVirus finds a virus, Trojan horse, worm, or
security risk during a scan or from an instant messenger
session, you either receive a summary of the automatic
repair or deletion results, or use the Repair Wizard to
resolve the problem.
If you have set your manual scan options so that Norton
AntiVirus repairs or deletes files automatically, and all
infected files could be repaired or deleted, the scan
summary lists the number of files found, infected, and
repaired or deleted. This information is presented for
status purposes only; you don't need to take further
action to protect your computer. If you want to know
more, you can check the repair details to see which files
were infected and with which threats.
To review the repair details
1 In the scanner window, in the Summary pane, click
More Details.
2 When you are done reviewing the results, click
Finished.
If there are files that could not be fixed, or if you have set
options so that Norton AntiVirus asks you what to do
when a virus or threat is found, the Repair Wizard opens.
If Norton AntiVirus did not attempt a repair, the Repair
Wizard opens in the Fix Infection pane. Otherwise, it
opens in the Quarantine window.
