Norton AntiVirus discontinues any Idle Time Scans

that it started during idle time if you begin to use your

computer again. However, it resumes the scan when

your computer is idle again.

You must turn off Idle Time Scans to schedule a Full

System Scan. However, you should always keep Idle

Time Scans turned on to allow Norton AntiVirus to

scan your computer when it becomes idle.

Turning off or turning on Idle Time Scans

The IdleTime Scans option is automatically turned on

when you install Norton AntiVirus. When the Idle Time

Scans option is turned on, Norton AntiVirus detects

the time when you do not use your computer. Norton

AntiVirus then intelligently runs a scan, depending on

the scan history of your computer. However, there may

be times when you want to turn off Idle Time Scans.
