Reputation Scan provides information on the
trust-worthiness of all programs and running processes
on your computer. It helps you detect the files that are
suspicious or vulnerable on your computer using the
reputation-based threat detection. Norton AntiVirus
lets you run different types of Reputation Scan and
detect suspicious programs on your computer.
Reputation Scan filters the files on the basis of certain
filtering criteria and performs an Insight Network
Scan on the filtered files. Reputation Scan filters the
files as reputation files. It filters .exe files, .scr files,
.sys files, .dll files, .drv files, .ocx files, .loc files, and
.msi files and analyzes these files.
When you perform a Reputation Quick Scan or Full
System Scan, Norton AntiVirus considers the Files of
Interest that are available on your computer.
After it has filtered the reputation files, Norton
AntiVirus performs an Insight Network Scan. When
Norton AntiVirus performs an Insight Network Scan,
it also performs a Computer Scan. Norton AntiVirus
uses the Computer Scan to perform the
signature-based threat detection. It compares the
signature of the filtered reputation files against the
known threat signatures to identify threats on your
computer. If a security threat is detected, Norton
AntiVirus automatically removes the threat from your
computer.
