Specifying Idle Time Out duration
You can set the duration after which Norton Internet
Security should identify your computer as idle. You
can select a value (in minutes) between 1 minute and
30 minutes. When you do not use your computer for
the duration that you specify, Norton Internet Security
checks for other predefined parameters and runs Idle
Time Scans.
After you specify the Idle Time Out duration, you can
view the Idle Countdown bar in the Norton Tasks
window. The IdleCountdown bar displays the idle state
of your computer.
