How can I protect a folder from norton deleting it?

I have a few games that use the flash or shockwave players and store settings in a folder.  Everytime I start one of these games, I have to start at level one and my old scores are lost.  There is a folder in my user application data folder >macromedia...,

that stores these settings.  I have added this to the exclusion list of Norton's scanner.  I think it happens during the idle scanner's temporary file cleaning, but not sure. Can anyone tell me how to stop this folder from getting deleted?

Thank you.
