Drives

TIP: To quickly scan a drive, folder, or file, right-click an item in a My
Computer or Windows Explorer window and choose Scan with Norton

WHY?
A weekly scheduled scan is an additional reassurance that your
computer is virus-free. When you installed Norton AntiVirus, a scan is
already scheduled to run once per week automatically.

This tells Norton AntiVirus to scan all local drives. You could also
enter specific drive letters, for example,
C: D:
instead.

to close the dialog box, then click
OK
again to confirm.
8. Click

in the upper-right corner of the Norton Scheduler dialog
