If a virus is found during a manual scan
If you are scanning with Norton AntiVirus and a virus is
found, the scan window shows you the name of the
infected file. Usually, infected files are repaired or
quarantined automatically and you don’t have to do
anything else. To determine if the file was repaired or if
you need to take further action, check the status of the
file in the scan window. If the file was not quarantined,
you can attempt to repair or delete the file.
To check the status of infected files in the scan
window
4 In the Virus Scan window, under Scan Results, select
the infected file.
Repairing infected files
If an infected file in the scan window was not repaired or
placed in Quarantine, you can initiate the repair yourself.
To repair infected files
1 In the scan results list, select the files to repair.
2 Click Repair.
3 After repairing all infected files, scan your disks again
to verify that there are no other infected files.
4 Check the repaired files to make sure that they
function properly.
For example, if you repaired a word processing
program, edit a document using the word processing
program to make sure that it has been repaired
correctly.
If you have set Auto-Protect to ignore removable media,
you can use Norton AntiVirus to scan and repair
removable media manually.
To repair infected removable media
1 Open Norton AntiVirus.
2 In the Norton AntiVirus main window, select the
media to scan.
