Turning off or turning on Smart Definitions
Core Set
The Core Set virus definitions are called as Smart
Definitions. Norton AntiVirus provides the Smart
Definitions option to choose between Core Set virus
definitions and Complete Set virus definitions for
LiveUpdate sessions. To access the Smart Definitions
option, go to the Norton AntiVirus main window, and
then click Settings > Updates > Smart Definitions.
During Automatic LiveUpdate or each time that you
run LiveUpdate manually, Norton AntiVirus checks if
the Smart Definitions option is turned on or off. It
then downloads and installs the desired set of virus
definitions based on the option settings. By default,
the Smart Definitions option is turned on, which means
that the Core Set virus definitions are downloaded and
installed.
Smart Definitions are a subset of virus definitions that
contains most important definitions for the latest
security threats.

space as compared to the
Complete Set virus definitions.
Therefore, the Core Set results
