About scheduling scans

Norton 360 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 360 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 360 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
	360 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
w	scan in the Scans window.
	Norton 360 lets you select multiple dates if you
	schedule a monthly scan.
	To schedule a custom scan
	1 In the Norton 360 main window, click PC Security,
	and then click Run Scans.
