technique to scan your computer. It scans all of the

files on your computer against the signatures that it

obtained during definition updates. When you use the

StandardTrust or High Trust profile, Norton AntiVirus

follows the Whitelist technique to scan the files based

on their confidence level. This way, Norton AntiVirus

significantly reduces the time that is required to scan

your computer completely for security threats.

The Whitelist technique that Norton Insight uses also

helps in heuristic detection of suspicious applications.

Normally, the execution behavior of well-known

applications appears identical to the execution behavior

of unknown applications. Such behavior results in false

identification of good applications as suspicious, and

therefore, necessitates security applications to

maintain a low heuristic detection threshold. However,

keeping a low detection threshold does not provide a

complete heuristic protection against malicious

applications. Norton AntiVirus uses the Whitelist

technique that helps maintain a high heuristic

detection threshold. It excludes well-known

applications from heuristic detection to prevent false

detection of well-known applications and to ensure a

high detection rate of malicious applications.
