My antivirus software flagged my own resume as a threat and deleted it 3 hours before a job interview

I spent two days customizing it for a warehouse supervisor position at a distribution center in Tacoma, and then Norton just ate it without asking while I was grabbing a coffee, has anyone else had a security program destroy something important like that?

Is it really that big of a deal though? Like yeah it sucks you lost a resume, but you probably have it saved somewhere else or can rewrite it in 20 minutes. Warehouse supervisor jobs aren't exactly picky about fancy formatting, they mostly just want to know if you can show up on time. Unless you had some kind of crazy magic layout that took two days to build, I'm betting you can whip up a new one before the interview. Anyway, Norton is garbage, everyone knows that.
