Why is it so hard for people to read the text messages on their screen?

Whenever a text message from Norton Anti Virus pops up, I'm for sure gettin 10 seconds later a phone call: "DAMN, I HAVE A VIRUS!", although it only asks what to do with the virus it just found. Stupid co-workers.

"Would you like to delete the virus or put it in quarantine?"

What would you do? :)

There are a lot of bigger problems then click "Delete" or "Quarantine".

you can set it to delete/quarantine by default and not prompt for an action, can't you?

I'd delete it, but if i didnt know better, i'd wonder why the quarantine option even existed. Surely there is an option for a reason right? How do I know whats best?
