Hi, All.
In my ongoing quest to find out whether certain behaviors (or lack thereof) exhibited by Norton software are due to Norton or Windows 8 or a combination of the two, I submit yet another annoying question for the knowledgeable participants on here to analyze. :smileywink:
Helpful suggestions to my previous inquiries were all greatly appreciated!
Here's my understanding. During Idle Time Out, Norton will automatically run a Quick Scan maybe once or twice a day and a Full Scan every 7 days. Bascially, both types of scans will run automatically without my having to schedule them in Settings. At least, that's the behavior I observed with NIS installed on machines running Win XP or Win 7.
Now this time I have N 360 installed on a machine that's running Win 8.1, and I've noticed that during Idle Time Out, Quick Scan would still automatically run daily, but after more than a week since the last Full Scan ran--done manually--Full Scan has yet run automatically during Idle Time Out. Is this normal? Must automaticIdle Time Full Scan be "scheduled" now, unlike before, or it won't run?
By the way, that Full Scan that I mentioned I ran manually over a week ago was the firstFull Scan that this machine received after I had installed N 360. Some of you may remember from one of my earlier threads that I said I removed and reinstalled Norton several times due to some errors being logged in Security History. So to clarify, after I reinstalled Norton for the last time (which occured over a week ago), I ran just that one Full Scan as I mentioned. Therefore, I have no data to give you regarding any earlier Full Scans.
Thank you.
