What to do with "unproven" files?

I ran the Norton Reputation Scan and it came up with 58 "unproven" files. A lot of them are identified as Windows Installer Packages and are in my Windows folder. One, called symlcrst.dll, is in a "Common Files" folder and listed as a Symantec file -- you'd think they'd trust their own stuff. I don't just want to start deleting files that may be important, but obviously, I don't want to have anything suspicious on my machine. Should I be concerned about these files? If so, what should I do about them?

Hi runandwrite,

 

Unproven files are not suspicious - there is simply not enough known about the file for Norton to make a determination about the file.  As PapauZ said, this is usually because a file is too new to have a reputation established.  You should never delete any file based on a reputation scan.  If a file is seriously dangerous enough to warrant deletion, Norton will take care of it on its own with no user action required.
