Hacking CPU Usage with Norton 360
Norton 360 provides a graphical representation of your current CPU and memory usage.
Analyzing CPU Usage can tell you a thing or two about what applications are consuming your computing power and need to be optimized or switched off.
Norton 360 continuously monitors selected areas of your computer including memory, registry keys, and running processes and you can view how much resources is used on a graph drawn in real-time.
Norton 360 monitors file operations, network traffic, and Internet browsing ensuring no process is overutilizing available resources and isn't degrading the overall performance of your computer.
Norton 360 also includes some improvements that sped up its operations itself. These speed optimizations are listed below.
The following features help Norton 360 run faster and use less memory:
- Norton Insight excludes files deemed as safe or trusted from the routine scan. Fewer files to check means quicker scans and less memory use.
- Run Scan at Idle Time Norton 360 launches comprehensive virus checks when your computer is idle, i.e. when it "thinks" you're away from your computer.
