Ignoring newly powered hard drive

I have just been converted from Bullguard anti virus to Norton 360. I have a hard drive on a timer to run a backup (not Norton), but when the drive activates Norton stops everything and asks if I want to scan it. How can I get Norton to ignore the drive activating and from stopping my processes?

Thank you, my weekly program ran perfectly this week.

Step by step guiding you:

Open Settings.

Then Open Antivirus:

Here you will find Removable Media Scan, turn it OFF.

All set.

It is unattended, how do I exclude it? As explained I am new to Norton.

just my 2 cents here

i would let or allow norton to scan it

not sure the exact message your seeing, but do think after which you could set it to be excluded
