About clearing file IDs that are excluded during scans
When you run a Reputation Scan, Norton 360 provides
information on the trust-worthiness of all programs
and processes running on your computer. Reputation
Scan helps you detect the files that are suspicious or
vulnerable on your computer using the
reputation-based threat detection. Norton 360 provides
reputation information such as trust level, user
prevalence, and stability for each program and process
that is scanned. Norton 360 stores the reputation
information of all scanned files.
All trusted and favorable files are provided with
Trusted and Good trust levels. If any of the scanned
files is suspicious or vulnerable, Norton 360 assigns
Bad or Poor trust level.
During each successive scan that you run, Norton 360
excludes the Trusted and Good files from being
scanned. However, if you want Norton 360 to scan all
the files in your computer, you must clear the
reputation information of the excluded files.
w
When you exclude a reputation-based threat, Norton
360 does not add the signature of the excluded threat
to the Signature Exclusions window. This is because
the reputation-based threats are excluded by hash
value. You can use the Clearing IDs of files that are
excluded during scans option to clear the excluded
reputation-based threats.
To clear the reputation information of files that are
excluded from scans. In the Norton 360 main window,
click Settings > AntiVirus > Scans and Risks >
Exclusions/ LowRisks > Clear file IDs excluded during
scans > Clear All.
Clearing IDs of files that are excluded during scans
Norton 360 tags all trusted and favorable files with
Trusted and Good trust levels. When a file is tagged
as Trusted or Good, Norton 360 does not scan this file
