Hey I currently have norton 360 v4 and it is detecting and deleting a false positive but I do not know how to add an exception to norton?
Hi,
open Norton 360, click on Settings, there AntiVirus Settings, and there you will be able to find the exclusion settings.
Hello AxArchy
I would submit that file to Symantec to analyze it further. If it is really a false positive, they can then adjust their definitions. Please follow these steps.
Please use this link if you think that a file is a false positive:

If there is a possibility that the file might be infected, please submit it to Symantec using this link:

Another alternative which is fast you can use Threat Expert:

Make sure that you add only the files which you trust or use as legitimate. If you wrongfully add a file associated with threats/malwares, it may be dangerous to your computer.
