I believe the history file has a ceiling of 375 gB.  But I may be mistaken.  They may have raised that to 1.5 TB

Is there a way of deleting the history or do they just build up forever. I know that some specific items have a delete button.

Have set Idle quick scan to monthly, but I see numerous scans daily in the history.

Norton Community Watch set to off - but still shows many items in history each day.

 

I must be missing something in the help menus.

There is no option to delete the History.

 

Even when you set a scan to "Monthly" it [Idle Quick Scan] will Run after you get Norton 2009 Virus Definitions.

 

With regard to N.C.W.: This is odd.  They must stack up so, if you do turn it back on, will Submit them; could symantec shed some light on this.

I’m affraid that I have to admit that this is one thing I hope Symantec will work on.

KLR,

 

There is currently no way to to clear the history all at once - we'll get this fixed in a future version.  For now, most categories can be cleared individually.

- Select View: Norton Community Watch, then at the bottom-right side of the screen, select "Clear Submission Log"

- Select View: Scan Results, then "Clear Scan Results" at the bottom right side of the screen.

- etc

 

The idle quick scan will generally run once or twice a week, but it will be re-scheduled to run at the next idle time after definitions are downloaded (and will run within a day if no idle time is found).

 

My response on this other thread should answer your questions about Norton Community Watch.

Mike - thanks for your help - can delete everything but notices of me turning Light silent mode off and on.

 

I think NAV2009 or NSW2008 is disables Window Security Center - any way to stop this?

 

Also I am sure you are aware that NAV2009 is not seen by NSW2008 and Windows Security Center and both show no antivirus installed.

 

Thanks for your help - much appreciated, Ken

We currently do not have an option to clear Silent Mode history. I think Symantec is aware of this issue.

 

Norton products are designed in such a way that they disable the Windows Security Center service after the installation and then all the Windows Security alerts will be conveyed through the Norton product.

 

Also I am sure you are aware that NAV2009 is not seen by NSW2008 and Windows Security Center and both show no antivirus installed.

 

Symantec is aware of this issue; please check the document Doc Link .
