The last time I remember configuring it was 2023. Since then, the entire GUI has been shuffled like an Uno deck and I can’t seem to find anything except ultra-simplistic “do thing” or “don’t do thing” settings. Under the Real-Time Protection tab, there’s
Auto Protect - yes or no
Types of files to scan - some or all
Scan auto-run items when media is attached - yes or no
Scan applications when executing - yes or no
Scan files when opening - yes or no
Scan files when writing - yes or no
… and that’s it? Seriously? Whatever happened to
"When malicious items are found:
- Quarantine
- Ignore
- Ask me what to do"
I’d just leave it as “YES” for all, but the quarantine list no longer lets you save all of the details of what it finds. Or some of the details. Or any of the details. The best you can do is take screenshot after screenshot while hovering the mouse pointer over each item. So I figure just let me decide what to do with each fine once it finds it. But now THAT’S gone. Seriously? Tell me I’m simply missing something obvious, and it’s not a case of “Norton has decided you’re too stupid to configure your anti-virus so we’re just making that an afterthought.”
