Um, what does "exclude this risk from future scans" do?

and where is "the exclusions list (later from options)"?

msi download is detected as WS.Reputation.1 and removed. 
msi file is not Quarantined.

Norton dialog suggests I may "Exclude the program".

Norton dialog suggests I may "exclude this risk from future scans".
Confirm Exclusion does not exclude this msi file from future download scans.
Next download is detected as WS.Reputation.1 and removed. 
I needed to turn Download Intelligence Off to get msi saved to desktop.
I needed to leave Download Intelligence Off to allow msi installer to run without detection. 
Just adding the msi file (saved to desktop) to Exclusions > Item to Exclude from Scans & Items to Exclude from AutoProtect without Download Intelligence Off does not allow msi installer to run without detection. 

Um, what does "exclude this risk from future scans" do?
and where is "the exclusions list (later from options)"?

Um, is msi file size a factor.

Maybe, Norton works with msi file different than PE files.

black_z:

So, "Confirm Exclusion" does not exclude, in practice?

 of course. This is an old topic. Exceptions help from other technologies (SONAR, Heur, Signatures). Reputation (Insight) lives its own life. 

Maybe, you can point to Norton documentation that "Reputation (Insight)" cannot be excluded. 

black_z:
             file type?  file size?
 file size too big.

Um, and what is "file size", criteria?    
What file size is too big to be quarantined?  

greater than _______? 

please post source?

file type?  file size?

 file size too big.

black_z:
       msi file is not Quarantined.

                     because too big. 

 

What is the criteria for "not Quarantined"?   
file type?  file size?

black_z:
    same sample?
           No, clean, but self-written new execution file (.exe).

meaning ?

I checked it again on 22.17.3: download bad file (by Insight only) - Ws.Rep.1, exclude by id, download again - Ws.rep.1 again. 

same sample?

But there is interest thing - after bad file (excluded by id) re-downloading, in history written that access is allowed, but if run file - Ws.rep.1 and in history written - deleted. hah: then, in quarantine written - quarantined by user, manually placed (:D what?), severity: info.
