Create your own custom Norton scans

0
(0)

While the default Norton automated scan settings work well for most users, some users may want to customize options to scan specific drives, folders, or files on a schedule that they choose.

Create a custom scan

  1. Start Norton.

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

  2. In the Norton main window, double-click Security, and then click Scans.
  3. In the Scans window, under Scans and Tasks, click Custom Scan, and then click Go.
  4. In the Scans window, click Create Scan.
  5. In the New Scan window, next to Scan Name, type a name for your custom scan and add the settings as follows:
    • On the Scan Items tab, click Add Drives, Add Folders, or Add Files to navigate to the components that you want to include in the scan.
    • On the Schedule Scan tab, under When do you want the scan to run, select an interval, and then select the timing options.

      Under Run the scan, select from the options. For most users, it’s best to keep all boxes checked. This assures that scans run only when you are not using your computer or when you are not using battery power, and it prevents your computer from going to sleep during a scan.

    • On the Scan Options tab, move the switches to customize behaviors for compressed files or low risk threats during the scan.
  6. Click Save.

Edit or delete a Norton custom scan

You can edit a custom scan that you created to rename the scan, add or remove files, or change the schedule. If you no longer need to run the scan, you can delete it.

    • Click the edit icon, and then in the Edit Scan window, move the switches to turn the scan options on or off. For most users, the default settings work well. Click Use Defaults to remove custom settings.
    • Click the trash icon, and then click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the custom scan.
  5. Click Save.
