Norton Internet Security / Norton AntiVirus

[maidul]

Hi, I'm a new user of Norton Internet Security, I'm currently using NIS 2013. I was a Kaspersky user until last week. Now I switched to Norton because KIS 2013 has too much problem & not usable in my 64bit windows 7.

I'm happy with my new Norton's performance, but one thing i'm missing here is a scan prompt when i connect a usb flash drive. Is there any way to configure NIS to show a scan prompt when i connect a flash drive? Let me know if any...

Hi maidul,

The first question I would like to ask you is,  how did you remove KIS?  Did you use the KIS removal tool found here - http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208279463 before you installed NIS?  Running removal tools before installing new AVs can give a clean slate to start with.

I am not sure you can configure NIS to scan as soon as a USB Flash Drive is plugged in.  Someone may correct me.  NIS will scan any program that starts running.  You can right-click a USB Flash Drive and start a Scan once you plug it in.

I hope this helps

Dave

Hi Krusty13, Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I've used that removal tool before installing NIS 2013.

I really need that scanning feature because it is really safe to scan a flash drive before opening it, And I cannot be that much conscious to remember a manual scan everytime I connect a usb drive.

Hi maidul,

I believe your question would fall under Auto-Protect which is explained here:

 Hope that answers your question.

Hi yank, Thank you for your reply. Now i can understand that Norton is protecting me automatically, don't need a scan prompt like i had in my Kaspersky.

You guys are so helpful, This support makes me feel more secure & happy with Norton. I'll write again if i face any more problem.

Though enabled by default, as an added precaution you may wish to go into "Settings" and confirm that "Removable Media Scan" is indeed "On" ...

Kind Regards,

John

Hi avjohnnie, Thank you for your kind help, I checked that settings, My "Removable Media Scan" is ON.

But I've no such option like "Early Launch Anti-Malware Protection" as I can see in your picture. Is it because I'm using a different version? My NIS version is 20.1.1.2
