End-of-Life announcement of Norton Internet Security 4 for Mac I receive an alert 'Free Upgrade Available' from Norton AntiVirus I have questions about Norton and macOS Sierra (10.12.x). Norton AntiVirus Plus is ideal for 1 PC or Mac providing real-time threat protection against malware, spyware, ransomware, phishing attacks and other online threats. It is designed to provide multiple layers of protection for your PC or Mac, including firewall protection.
When Norton detects a threat that cannot be eliminated with the latest virus definitions, it quarantines impacted files so that they cannot spread or infect your Mac. You cannot view files in the Finder or use them if they are quarantined.
Some apps that you use may need to access files that Norton classifies as threats and therefore quarantines. For example, many shareware or freeware apps download adware that introduce vulnerabilities. These apps will not work if Norton quarantines the adware files that they need to operate.
Norton displays File in Quarantine window to view additional details of the infected files that has been quarantined. If new virus definition is received, you can attempt to repair the quarantined item. Some quarantined items are successfully disinfected after your Norton product rescans them. You can also restore such items.
NortonLifeLock recommends you not to restore the quarantined files, unless you are sure that they are safe. If you restore an item to a directory other than its original location, it may not function properly. Therefore, it is recommended that you reinstall the program.
In some cases, Norton displays File Deleted window which indicates that Norton automatically detects and moved the specific infected file to Trash or deleted the file from your Mac that cannot be repaired. If the file cannot be repaired, the file is either moved to Quarantine or deleted.
