When you use the Optimize option in Windows XP,
Norton AntiVirus optimizes only the boot volume (for
example, C:\Windows). Therefore, it requires less time
to complete optimization. However, when you use the
Optimize option in Windows Vista or Windows 7,
Norton AntiVirus optimizes the drive that contains the
boot volume. Therefore, it requires more time to
complete optimization.
You can access the Optimize option at the top of the

can view details such as timestamp, duration, and
