About Reputation Scan

Reputation Scan provides information on the

trust-worthiness of all programs and running processes

on your computer. It helps you detect the files that are

suspicious or vulnerable on your computer using the

reputation-based threat detection. Norton AntiVirus

lets you run different types of Reputation Scan and

detect suspicious programs on your computer.

Reputation Scan filters the files on the basis of certain

filtering criteria and performs an Insight Network

Scan on the filtered files. Reputation Scan filters the

files as reputation files. It filters .exe files, .scr files,

.sys files, .dll files, .drv files, .ocx files, .loc files, and

.msi files and analyzes these files.

When you perform a Reputation Quick Scan or Full

System Scan, Norton AntiVirus considers the Files of

Interest that are available on your computer.

After it has filtered the reputation files, Norton

AntiVirus performs an Insight Network Scan. When

Norton AntiVirus performs an Insight Network Scan,

it also performs a Computer Scan. Norton AntiVirus

uses the Computer Scan to perform the

signature-based threat detection. It compares the

signature of the filtered reputation files against the

known threat signatures to identify threats on your

computer. If a security threat is detected, Norton

AntiVirus automatically removes the threat from your

computer.

Norton AntiVirus uses the Insight Network Scan to

detect suspicious or vulnerable files on your computer
