Show me programs that consume resources and slow me down
Norton monitors your computer and can alert you if a program or process seems to use an
unusual amount of resources. You can shut these programs down to improve performance if
you’re not using them.
Identify processes that consume resources
1
Start Norton.
If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.
2
In the Norton main window, double-click Performance, and then click Graphs.
3
In the Graphs window, on the left pane, click Usage.

Do one of the following:
■ To view the CPU graph, click the CPU tab.
■ To view the memory graph, click the Memory tab.
5
Click at any point on the graph to obtain a list of resource-consuming processes.
Click the name of a process to obtain additional information about the process in the File
Insight window.
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.
View or change the Norton trust level of files you use
1

If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.

In the Norton main window, double-click Security, and then click Scans.
