When Norton uses its SONAR to detect a threat it deletes the file without anything other than a red popup that states a threat has been removed. There is no way to override this setting. For me these detections have been 100% false positives (I am sure there are people that will argue their experience is not the same, lucky them). The only way to stop it is to set an exclusion, but as you are browsing to the file to set the exclusion, it detects the file and deletes it before you can get it excluded. About all you can do is submit it as a false positive. The last time I did that it required about 3 email exchanges between myself and them as they argued they could not reproduce it and I had to send screenshots. Way too many hoops to jump through when I should just be able to click an "Add to exclusions" button somewhere.

there is an add to exclusions button in norton which excludes files from all forms detection that norton uses,problem is you have to know which to exclude before excluding them,which you prob won't know before it flags/removes them!

If your AV doesn't allow to prompt for action, maybe it's time to sing Someone Like You - Adele and kiss it goodbye.
