I originally thought that in Norton AV, Medium and High risk items are automatically removed from the computer and placed in Quarantine. It then gives you the manual option in history/quarantine, to restore the file.
This AUTOMATIC delete with a copy to quarantine has apparently been the norm for several versions now.( I have only just returned to using Norton AV after a gap of 7 years)
However, a recent thread over at Wilders Security suggests that;
1. Some "malware" files are not automatically copied to Quarantine. IME, these may be files picked up by the Guard by heuristics.
2. In the thread, post 35, there is a suggestion that there is an option in the malware removal for user interaction.

Can someone comment on these points?
