Schedule Norton scans on Mac

After you install your Norton product on your Mac, it enables Automatic Scans to update virus definitions and scan your computer regularly for a range of threats. You may prefer to schedule scans at specific times.

Scheduled Scans settings do not change when a different user is on your Mac and scans continue to run at scheduled times.

Schedule Norton scans

  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 Advanced or Settings.

  3. On the left pane, click Protect my Mac.

  4. In the Scheduled Scans row, make sure the switch is on.

    If the switch is off, you won't be able to run or configure scheduled scans.

  5. Click the settings icon.

  6. In the Scheduled Scans window, set your options for what and when to scan.

  7. Click Save.
