Customize scan settings

The Computer Scans settings allow you to customize the scans Norton performs on different types of files. In addition to Full Scan and Quick Scan, Norton performs Compressed File Scan, Rootkits and Stealth Items Scan, Network Drives Scan, Heuristic Protection, and Tracking Cookies Scan.

For example, Norton removes tracking cookies by default, if you want to get a notification when a tracking cookie is detected, you can change the Tracking Cookies Scan feature.

Configure Tracking Cookies Scan

  1. Open your Norton device security product.

    If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.

  2. In the Norton product main window, click Settings.

  3. In the Settings window, click Antivirus.

  4. Click the Scans and Risks tab.

  5. Under Computer Scans, in the Tracking Cookies Scan row, select Ask Me from the drop-down list.
