On my PC, I have a collection of .exe files which are already known and identifiable as malware. Norton loves to scan the shit out of it and remove them constantly. I went through and restored each of them and as soon as I do that, Auto-Protect pops up and removes everything from the fucking folder again.
The option to disable Auto-Protect is greyed out and I'm pretty close to just uninstalling my AV and playing safe with NoScript.
