Hi androidcool.

 

Welcome to the Community.

 

Glad you are impressed with Norton, we like it as well (and most of us are not Norton employees!).

 

I suspect the reason why Norton reports fewer files scanned is that it is not scanning your SD card.  If you choose to include your SD card in the Norton scan it will take longer.  Should you wish to do this select Menu: Anti-Malware: and then tick the "Scan SD Card" box before hitting the "San Now" button.

 

Should you choose to try this I hope you find the result satisfactory.  ;-)

 

Good luck.
