The Scans section can
also run Norton Power
Eraser for eliminating threats
that regular scans can’t deal
with, as well diagnostics,
and Norton Insight – the
program that determines
which files should be
scanned during a quick scan.
While most people
will just need the quick
scan and full system scan
options, it’s great that
all these tools are easily
accessible by the user.
Beyond scans, the Security
section also houses the
SafeCam settings for
keeping rogue programs
away from your webcam.
There isn’t much to do
with SafeCam, but if it’s
evergivingyouissues,
thisis where you can turn it off.
Internet Security features access
to the password manager, password
generator and Norton’s browser
extensions. As we’ve noted before,
Norton doesn’t bother you too much
with notifications about its features;The Internet Security section of Norton 360 Deluxe.
