How to Restore and/or Exclude Files Deleted/Quarantined by Norton Internet Security with its new UI (Version 22.7.0.76)

Antivirus software may delete a file when you run it and it sees it as a potential threat. Don't worry. It is most likely only quarantined, unless the software is set to automatically delete threats permanently. The newer version of Norton Internet Security has a new UI (User Interface). So, if you can't find the Quarantine section, follow these steps.

1. Open the Norton Internet Security window from the system tray

If Norton Internet Security is not already running which is not likely in this case, run its executable file, perhaps, from the Start menu if you are on Windows.

2. Click the green downward arrow to pull the menu down

Did you click it?

3. Go to History

Yep, click the History icon.

4. Select Quarantine from the drop-down selection

The deleted file is likely in the Quarantine section. If not, try looking for it in the other sections.

5. Find and select the file from the left panel then click on Options

Just left click on the file to select it. The selected file's row will have a slightly different color of gray. You can click on Restore to restore it immediately (this will ONLY restore the file to its folder, nothing else). When you run the file, it will be quarantined again if it isn't excluded yet. If you want to restore and exclude the file, click on Options.

6. Click on Restore and exclude this file

There are three (3) options to choose from. Choose which best describes your intention. In this case, we'll restore and exclude it.

7. Decide on the option given then click Yes

Here, we are given the option to exclude this file from future scans or not. I'll go ahead and exclude it since I don't want it deleted.

8. Click Close

Check the status before closing the Quarantine Restore window.

9. If you are done, close the History window

By the way, you can manually add a file to the Quarantine.

10. Then close Norton Internet Security

So, that's it! Easy but it may be hard to find because of the new user interface. If you have another way or a question about the topic, please, place a comment below. God bless!
