Custom Scan: Custom Scan allows you to choose which components of the scan you want to run, and which parts of the computer to scan. You can choose to run a Live Update to download the latest protection updates before scanning; include a virus and spyware scan, and select which PC Tuneup features to run, such as removing temporary Internet files or optimizing your hard disk.
Custom Task: Runs LiveUpdate, backup, and tuneup tasks. Runs LiveUpdate, backs up your data, frees disk space, and optimizes your disk volume. Reputation Scan: This scan provides information on the trust-worthiness of all programs and processes that are running on your computer. It helps you detect the files that are suspicious or vulnerable using reputation-based threat detection. Skip to main content. Improved reputation scan provides the user with an easy to understand interface on files stored on the user's computer.
Reputation Scan compares the files on your computer with those about which information is submitted from the computers of millions of other Norton users. From Reputation Scan, one can learn how common or rare these files are across Norton users, whether those files are trustworthy, and their age.
In NIS , it is a scan that you can run by yourself. You can find the scan when you hit scan now. The Reputation Scan is one of the choices to run. I don't believe it is one of the background tasks. Initially, Smart Scan was a throttled release and available only in the US. That may have changed to some but not all regions since. The scan is not mandatory and doesn't cost anything to run. Other services offered at the end of the scan DO come with a premium cost if needed.
Same issue for Australia, no Smart Scan option. The last piece of the Peter Norton legacy is falling off this product. Apparently, we are faced with a highly personalized user experience. I get the feeling that my age triggers the "smart scan" button, as version or region are irrelevant. Back to top.
Hi majorbuzz. I know I have used those programs in the past and I would never purchase these premium service scams. My problem is that the issues identified such as slow start up programs and junk files could be solved by the built in function of Norton but there does not seem to be any effort on Norton's part to indicate this.
I have even used Norton Utiliites Premium to clean the junk and improve startup times but it doesn't seem to fix the issues identified in smart scan advanced! Good day Redsfan. I've noticed slow start up programs and junk files could be solved by the built in function of Norton by clicking the 'performance tab' in the dashboard.
I'm the kind of guy that tends to 'look' at things like that, but handle things manually. I got screwed several years ago by using a registry cleaner forcing me to use some choice language.
I don't even have 'live update' set to auto. I'm just in the habit running it myself first chore after boot up.
Same thing with backing up my files. I choose to do that manually at the end of every month. Done with the intrusions on my machine to buy new crap and they can't fix the stuff like VPN for years now. Complaints everywhere.
