Yes.

The Certified Safe Software Service is actually using "Whitelisting Technology" which means it will warn you/stop malware that have "no" definition avaiable thus it will stop threats most other security software will miss, simply because if it is not in that whatlist, you will be warned."
So does NIS 2009 have similar feature? Or is the Norton Insight do similar things? It seems like Trendmicro does mor because it check every programs at run, not like Norton just apply to system files.
Norton Insight leverages data from 65 million other Norton users to determine:
- The safety of all processes and services running on your system
- The safety of all files on your system
- To significantly reduce scanning time
- To significantly increase malware detection
Every real time virus scanner out there is always checking what ever programs are running.

To clarify, Diesel means that every real-time virus scanner always inspects exeucuted programs and the like. However, not all leverage data from 65 million other Norton Community Users.
The reason why Norton is included on so many new PCs today is simple. The new PC has a clean set of files. 65 million other Norton Community Users benifit because Norton can compare the clean set of files to the files on an infected computer, determining with almost 100% accuracy of the maliciousness of files and programs and processes/services. Also, the owner of a new PC benifits from day 1, with Norton protecting their system.
Kaspersky fans, for example, say that they don't load up new PCs with crapware. They are just shooting themselves in the foot, no throat. First of all, Norton is not a resource hog, despite their claims about Norton, which are based on outdated versions of Norton, from 2006 and earlier. Second, they cannot leverage data, their users have to depend on the quality of their signitures and heristics. That is why Kaspersky had "many" false positives while Norton had "few" (av-comparitives).
I quoted the whole passage in my question was intended to make it more easy to understand. Off course I know Norton check every file when it runs (I'm not idiot). But Trend Micro claims they check exe files against the "cloud" database, that is the hash of the files will be compared to the "whitelist " to spot any malwares every time the exes run as I understand. So my question is does Norton 2009 also do similar actions when exe runs on user's computer? As I read from some website including Symantec's own site, the Norton Insight will only check the files when computer is idle or by manually clicking the Norton Insight.
This might interest you.

Norton InSight does not check FILES. It checks your running processes at idle and any other time you want by simply clicking on it.

A) Yes. Norton's SONAR technology, also known as Advanced Protection, anylyzes every exeucuted program against its own whitelist and a constantly updated one, that leverages data from 65 million other people. That is why under Insight, there is a catorgy for Norton Trusted and Community Trusted.
B) Norton Insight runs automatically when your computer is idle. That way, it will not interfere with your work. However, I have never found Norton to be a resource hog, running while my computer is idle or busy.
