I gave up on Norton AV many years ago, for many reasons. Including the fact that if you wanted to un-quarantine a file you had to tell it where to put it. Even though it knew where it'd been before being quarantined.
That was *way* too much hassle when oit mistakenly quarantined a vital file that was many layers deep.
The Norton Utilities are still of some (limited) use, but the AV and Firewall? Not on a bet.
I use F-Prot AV. Among other things, it's cheaper (for non-commercial use, the price gets you a 5-computer site license). And it's a lot better about keeping its hands off things.
