Product manual

When the Insight Protection option is turned on,
Norton 360 performs a traditional scan and an Insight
Network scan simultaneously. The traditional scan
uses the definitions from the local system, and the
Insight Network scan uses the definitions that are
hosted in the Cloud.
Threat detection based on the Cloud definitions is
identical to the threat detection that is based on the
local definitions. However, the Cloud definitions are
specified with additional data about the threats that it
detects which indicates that it has been obtained from
the Internet. Definitions in the Cloud provide a generic
name for the risk detected, but the local definitions
provide the specific name for the risk detected. For
example, if a Trojan horse is detected, the scan results
of the Insight Network might display Cloud.Trojan.
However, the scan results of the local definition might
display Trojan.Foo.
If the traditional scan completes while the Insight
Network scan is still running, you can view the Insight
Network Scan progress status.
The Insight Network scan supports Quick Scan, Insight
Network context-menu scan, Instant Messenger Scan,
and Download Insight scan. It does not support Email
Scan, Full System Scan, and Auto-Protect scan.
If the Insight Protection option is turned on, you can
manually run the following types of Insight Network
scans:
1 Insight Network Quick Scan
Norton 360 simultaneously performs a traditional

Quick Scan.
