Startup Scan finds corrupt files, how do I find & delete them later. The errors appear in a DOS window, but at the end there seems to be no indication of how to find them again.

Doug. Have a look in your Norton history for more information related to that scan.

AI Overview

To locate Norton startup scan logs, access the Security History within your Norton app, as Norton does not export these reports as separate log files. [1, 2]

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Open your Norton device security application.
  2. On the main dashboard, click on Security.
  3. On the Scans tile, click Open.
  4. Look for the History or Reports tab (this may be listed directly in the left pane or under the main scan window depending on your version).
  5. Select Security History to review past activities, threats detected, and details from your Startup Scans. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

If you need further assistance sorting your scan outcomes or managing flagged threats, visit the Norton Support center. [1]
