Prior to purchasing Norton 360, I was using Kaspersky Internet Security. With KIS, I could configure the software so that USB drives were automatically scanned as soon as they were plugged into the computer. I would see a popup menu appear showing the status of the scan and the lights on the USB drive would flash as the data was accessed by KIS.
Now that I am using 360, I would hope that it would do the same. However, when I plug a USB drive into my computer, nothing happens. I can manually scan the USB drive and a Norton menu appears showing the status and the light on the USB drive flash as I would expect. However, I would like for this to happen automatically.
I have read the threads in this forum and see that people are saying that Norton 360 does scan USB drives and some say that it does this automatically. However, I have not seen evidence of this with my computer. Others have written that the scan only takes place when data on the drive is accessed which I am not so keen about.
My question is, is it possible to set up Norton 360 so that it does a full scan of a USB drive as soon as one is plugged into the computer?
Thank you.
