Responding to Worm Blocking alerts
If a program tries to email itself or a copy of itself, it
could be a worm trying to spread through email. A
worm can send itself or send a copy of itself in an email
message without any interaction with you.
Worm Blocking continually scans outgoing email
attachments for worms. If it detects a worm, you
receive an alert notifying you that a malicious worm
was found.
Worm Blocking alert appears only when you enable
the Ask me what to do option under How to respond
when an outbound threat is found in the Email
Antivirus Scan window. If the Ask me what to do
option is disabled Norton AntiVirus automatically
quarantines the detected worm and notifies you.
The alert presents you with options and asks you what
to do. If you do not send an email message at that time,
then it is probably a worm and you should quarantine
the file.
