Use the Task Scheduling settings to have Norton 360 examine your system automatically for security and performance issues. You can specify when and how often Norton 360 performs those examinations. You have the following options for scheduling security and performance scans:- Automatic (Recommended): Examine your PC for security and performance issues whenever your PC is idle. This setting provides the maximum protection.
- Weekly: Examine your PC one or more times each week for security and performance issues. You can pick the days of the week and the time of day on which the scan performs.
- Monthly: Examine your PC once each month for security and performance issues. You can pick the day of the month and the time of day on which the scan performs.
- Manual Schedule: Do not perform a scheduled security or performance scan of your PC. If you choose this option, you should perform manual security and performance scans of your PC periodically to maintain protection.
