Idle Time Full System Scan

When I had Norton 350 v. 5 it would scan on it's own when it was idle on usually a Wednesday morning. Now with the v6 it doesn't do that anymore. I have to scan it manually instead of it doing it once a week on it's own when it was idle. How can I get v6 to do the same thing? I have checked everywhere on Norton and don't see how to set that up. My task scheduling is the same as before and on automatic and it doesn't scan at all still. I see no option to even turn Idle Time Full System Scan on at all.

Hi demonicvampireGIRL,

 

To schedule a weekly scan,  open N360 and click on PC Security on the left.  Click Run Scans > Custom Scan > Go.  Check the Full System Scan,  then Edit.  You can either select Weekly and enter a day and time to run,  or change the 30 day default to 7 days.

 

Please see below.

Remember to click OK to save.
