Show me programs that consume resources and slow me down

View or change the Norton trust level of files that you
use
Norton Insight whitelists files or apps based on reputation and shows the trust level of your
files and the percentage of trusted files on your computer. The higher the percentage of trusted
files, the quicker scans run, since Norton excludes trusted files from scans.
Norton Insight shows files that have high Norton Community usage and known good and
known bad files in the Norton Network. File Insight gives more detail including the file's
signature, install date, resource usage, and source. If Norton gives a poor trust rating to a file
that you believe is safe, you can, though not recommended, set Norton to trust the file.
