False positive with some Microsoft Word 2011 autosave and temp files.

Norton AntiVirus for Mac 11.1.2 (17) appears to incorrectly identify some Microsoft Word 2011 autosave and temp files as viruses. The resulting quarantine can result in corruption of the original file and data loss. I'd appreciate a workaround other than disabling or removing AntiVirus, (the solution offered by the 'support engineer' on live chat).
