plan, you can set up NoLimit policy so that Norton 360
connects to Symantec servers to ensure complete
protection. However, if you think that Norton 360 uses
too much of your Internet connection, you can restrict
the Internet usage of Norton 360. Network Cost
Awareness helps you manage the Internet usage of
Norton 360.

Norton 360 uses to connect to the Internet.
You can set up one of the following policies for each of
the network connection that Norton 360 uses to
connect to the Internet:
1 Auto

definition updates based on the Windows 8 cost
awareness policy. By default, the Auto policy has
unlimited Internet connection on LAN and Wi-Fi.
w
The Auto option is available only in Windows 8.
1 No Limit
Allows Norton 360 use the network bandwidth that
is required to receive all product and virus
definition updates. Symantec recommends that you
apply this policy. If you do not use Windows 8, the
default policy is set to No Limit.
1 Economy
Allows Norton 360 access the Internet only to
receive critical product updates, virus definitions,
and web queries needed to protect your device.
1 No Traffic
