About the Idle Time Optimizer
Idle Time Optimizer lets you configure Norton Internet
Security to defragment your boot volume or the local
disk that contains boot volume when your computer
is idle. Norton Internet Security automatically
schedules the optimization when it detects the
installation of an application on your computer and
your computer is idle. If you start using your computer
again, Norton Internet Security stops the optimization
task, and starts optimizing the next time that your
computer is idle. This way, the background job of
optimization does not affect the performance of your
computer.
Optimization rearranges file fragments into adjacent
or contiguous clusters in the hard disk. It improves the
computer performance by reading the files into the
memory faster. Optimization also maximizes the usable
free space on a disk by grouping most frequently used
files and infrequently used files. In addition, it
consolidates free space to avoid fragmenting newly
added files.
You can use the Idle Time Optimizer option to optimize
the boot volume during the idle time. To access the
Idle Time Optimizer option, go to the Norton Internet
Security main window, and then click Settings >
General > Norton Tasks > Idle Time Optimizer.
