What about the user, how can they run an untrusted executable? I never figured this out when I ran into this problem.

This is the reason I dropped Norton 360, a product I was given for free from work. I'm just using MS security essentials now which is free and less robust but it actually allows me to run programs on my computer, which is a nice feature.

It's complicated because Symantec assumes that it recognizes more malware than the user (which is almost certainly true). But it is possible if you jump through some hoops. You could tell Symantec to ignore everything in a specific folder, like a build folder for code that's mistakenly quarantined. If you want to recover a specific file it's more complicated. http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Nort...
