Check in history to see if it is in quarantine.  If so, you may be able to restore it and add it to scan and auto-protect exclusions from there.  You can also submit it to Symantec to be checked before you restore it just in case there is a reason for the deletion.

Under certain circumstances profanity provides relief denied even to prayer.

If you unrar alot of (a - hem)  high risk item's that you are comfortable to unpack, I would designate a whole folder and exclude it from scan and auto protect in the settings. You can then just drag the rar(s) into that folder and unpack them there without issue. ; ) (also there is a setting in NIS that will quarantine the risk even within a rar file so this would prevent that too)
