About the Norton AntiVirus scans
About scheduling scans
Norton AntiVirus uses Idle Time Scans to automatically
detect the idle state of your computer and runs a Full
System Scan when the computer is idle. However, you
can schedule a Full System Scan according to your
preferences. Norton AntiVirus prompts you that the
Idle Time Scans option gets turned off when you
schedule a Full System Scan. You can also set up a
schedule for a Quick Scan and custom virus scans.
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 AntiVirus 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 AntiVirus to turn off your
computer 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
AntiVirus 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
scan in the Scans window.

Norton AntiVirus lets you select multiple dates if you
are scheduling a monthly scan.
