Norton AntiVirus monitors your system performance.
If it detects an increased usage of system resources by
any program or process, it notifies you with
performance alerts. Performance alerting works only
when the Performance Monitoring option and
Performance Alerting option are turned on.
Performance alerting notifies you with information
about the program name and resources that the
program uses excessively. The Details & Settings link
in the performance notification alert lets you view
additional details about the resource consumption by
the program. The File Insight window opens and
displays the details of the file, the origin of the file, and
the complete resource usage list of the program. From
the File Insight window, you can choose to exclude the
program from being monitored. You can use the
Settings option in the File Insight window to turn off
the Performance Alerting option.
Performance alerts are not displayed when your
computer is idle or in Silent Mode.
For each system resource, such as CPU, memory, and
hard disk, there is a resource consumption threshold
defined. When the resource consumption of a program
exceeds the defined threshold limit, Norton AntiVirus
alerts you with a performance alert.
You can use the Resource Threshold Profile for
Alerting option to configure the threshold limit. To
