Run a scan in Norton 360 app to check for security risks on your Android device

Applicable for: Android

Your Norton 360 app automatically scans and protects your device from security risks. However, if you suspect that you have a security risk, then you can manually initiate a scan to check for security risks.

While the default Norton Automatic scan settings work well for you, you can use the Automatic Scan option to schedule scans at specific times.

Run a scan in Norton 360 app

  1. From the home screen, launch the Norton 360 app.

  2. On the Norton 360 app main screen, tap Run Smart Scan.

  3. The Norton 360 app scans your device for files and apps that are installed on your device. If there are items that require attention, review the security risks on the Security screen.

Schedule Norton Automatic scan

  1. From the home screen, launch the Norton 360 app.

  2. At the bottom of the Norton 360 app main screen, tap Account, then tap Settings.

  3. Tap Security, and under the Scans section, tap Automatic Scan. Ensure the slider at the bottom of the screen is On.
