The Metered Broadband Mode feature lets you set up
policies to restrict the Internet usage of Norton
AntiVirus. You can define the amount of network
bandwidth that Norton AntiVirus can use.
You can choose a communication policy that suits your
Internet connection. If you have unlimited Internet
plan, you can set up No Limit policy so that Norton
AntiVirus connects to Symantec servers to ensure
complete protection. However, if you think that Norton
AntiVirus uses too much of your Internet connection,
you can restrict the Internet usage of Norton AntiVirus.
Metered Broadband Mode helps you manage the data
transfer between Norton AntiVirus and your adapter.
To connect to the Internet, Norton AntiVirus accesses
the gateway through an adapter. The adapter is present
either on your computer or on a connecting device. The
connecting device can be a 3G phone, an Internet data
card, or a wireless network card. Metered Broadband
Mode lets you set up a policy for each adapter that
Norton AntiVirus uses to connect to the Internet.
You can set up one of the following policies for each of
the adapter that Norton AntiVirus uses to connect to
the Internet:
No Limit
1
Lets Norton AntiVirus use the network bandwidth
that is required to ensure complete protection.
Symantec recommends that you apply this policy.
