Idle time scans run while I am very active on my computer, they run all the time. This only started happening after I downloaded the new 20. version, to upgrade from version 6. I have been looking for answers, from here- http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Security-and-Anti-Virus/idle-time-background-scans/td-p/1549675
Finally today I uninstalled 20. and used norton removal tool, then downloaded and installed. No problems so far.
problems before the recent clean reinstall
