Respond to the alert

Note If the file that caused the alert is from a legitimate program, then once the file is in Quarantine, the program likely will not run correctly. If the script proves to be safe, then you can restore it from Quarantine.

Select from the following actions:

Stop this script (recommended) This is the default setting, and it does stop the script from running. Click this setting if you are not sure what the script is.

Allow this activity once Do not click this unless you are absolutely sure that the script is safe.

Allow the entire script once Do not click this unless you are absolutely sure that the script is safe.

Quarantine this script If you think that the script is part of a legitimate program, but are not absolutely sure, choose to quarantine the script, and then submit the quarantined sample to the Symantec Security Response for analysis.

Authorize this script Click this only if you are sure that the script is safe. The script will run and will not cause future alerts.
