Run custom tasks

Norton automatically checks your system and chooses the best settings to keep your system secure. However, you can run some specific tasks. You can choose the specific tasks that you want to run by using the options available in the Custom Tasks window.

You can choose your own combination of tasks for a one-time scan. You can run LiveUpdate, back up your data, clear browsing history, free disk space by cleaning up disk clutter, and optimize your disks.
