What does "Threat Aborted" mean in Norton 360 for Windows

[Mikeusesnorton]

Detailed description: I clicked on a link for an image on reddit and I got a pop-up saying that a threat was I guess blocked and i quickly closed the tab. And in my security history it says that it was aborted but I am curious if anything was executed on my PC?

OS details: Windows 11

So does that mean that my PC is safe? Nothing was executed right?

The threat was stopped before it could cause damage to your computer. Run a full scan if you wish for extra peace of mind and restart to recheck. You should be fine.
