Norton Internet Security uses Idle Time Scans to automatically detect the idle state of your computer. Norton Internet Security runs a weekly Full System Scan when the computer is idle. The Full System Scan protects your computer against infection without compromising the performance of your computer. You can override the Idle Time Scans settings to schedule a Full System Scan on specific dates and times or at periodic intervals. However, before you schedule a Full System Scan, you need to turn off the Idle Time Scans option.
You can schedule a Full System Scan in the Scans window.
Note: |
The Idle Time Scans option provides sufficient protection to your computer by running a Full System Scan when your computer is idle. Symantec recommends you not to turn off the Idle Time Scans option. |
