Smartscan is missing please help.

Norton 360 Smart scan was hanging on advanced issues and would not complete. Therefor I uninstalled Norton 360 and reinstalled it. Now I do not have a smart scan at all please help me solve this issue. Yes I did run a full scan and power eraser but nothing seems to work.

Please run Norton LiveUpdate and Restart (not Shut down) machine.  Repeat.

Thanks for your speedy reply! Running LiveUpdate and "restarting" three times did not solve my issue.

So, where Run Smart Scan was....there's an empty space?

Re: Smartscan is missing please help.

I have same issue on both of my computers at the same time - "Norton 360 Smart scan was hanging on advanced issues and would not complete". I have not uninstalled and reinstalled as it seems too coincidental that both computers experience the same issue at the same time. I am in Australia. Any ideas?

Re: Smartscan is missing please help.

As bjm_ suggested.... "Please run Norton LiveUpdate and Restart (not Shut down) machine.  Repeat." is the best thing to do!

It seems that Norton's system needs time to adjust to your/our changes (reinstall etc) and is not instant is why smart scan is missing.

Therefore if you wait a while after following bjm/s advice you will find that the smart scan command button will return out of the blue suddenly.  

Unfortunately the advanced issues still seems to hang but it seems to work/finish if you run it again most of the time.
