About scheduling scans
Norton Internet Security automatically detects the idle
state of your computer and runs a Full System Scan.
However, you can schedule a Full System Scan
according to your preferences. You can also set up a
schedule for a Quick Scan and custom virus scans that
you create.
You can schedule scans to run automatically on specific
dates and times or at periodic intervals. If the scheduled
scan begins when you use your computer, you can run
the scan in the background instead of stopping your
work. Norton Internet Security lets you schedule the
Full System Scan, Quick Scan, and custom virus scans.
However, you cannot schedule the Drive Scan, Folder
Scan, and File Scan.
You can also set up Norton Internet Security to turn
off your computer or move it to sleep mode or hibernate
mode automatically when the scheduled scan is
complete.
Scheduling a scan
You have complete flexibility in scheduling custom
scans. When you select how frequently you want a scan
to run (daily, weekly, or monthly), you are presented
with additional options. For example, you can request
a monthly scan, and then schedule it to occur on
multiple days instead.
In addition to the custom scans that you create, Norton
Internet Security lets you schedule the Full System
Scan and Quick Scan.
You can also schedule the scan to run in specific time
intervals (hours or days). You can schedule a custom
scan in the Scans window.
