Norton 360 (including build 25.4.10068.930) on Windows 10 Pro is designed to automatically scan files for threats as they are accessed, downloaded, or executed, thanks to its Auto-Protect feature. This real-time protection is enabled by default and scans all files—including downloads—without requiring manual intervention.
How to Ensure Norton 360 Scans All Downloads Automatically
Open Norton 360
Double-click the Norton 360 icon in your system tray or start it from the Start menu.
Check Auto-Protect Status
In the main window, look for the Device Security or Security section.
Ensure that Auto-Protect is turned ON. This setting ensures all files (including downloads) are scanned in real time.
Adjust Download Intelligence (Optional)
Click on Settings (gear icon).
Go to Antivirus settings.
Under the Scans and Risks tab, locate Download Intelligence and make sure it is enabled. This feature specifically checks the safety of downloaded files from the internet.
No Need for Manual Scheduling
With Auto-Protect and Download Intelligence enabled, Norton 360 will automatically scan every file as it is downloaded, opened, or executed. There is no need to schedule a separate scan for downloads.
Notes
Browser Integration: If you use popular browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox), Norton’s browser extensions can provide additional download scanning and phishing protection, but the core real-time scanning works system-wide.
Manual Scan (if needed): You can always right-click any file or folder and select Scan with Norton 360 for an immediate scan.
Troubleshooting
If you suspect Norton 360 is not functioning correctly (e.g., not launching or not scanning), ensure your software is fully updated via LiveUpdate and consider reinstalling if issues persist247.
Summary:
Norton 360’s Auto-Protect and Download Intelligence features automatically scan all downloads on Windows 10 Pro. Just make sure these features are enabled in your settings; no further configuration is needed for comprehensive download scanning.
