The Windows desktop with a yellow Norton shield-style icon on the left. It is circled in red. To its right is the Norton window with a Scans item and a Run Quick Scan button circled in red.

  1. Find the yellow Norton icon on your desktop and double-click it. Double-click means two quick clicks.
  2. In the Norton window, click Scans. Norton looks a little different on each computer. If you do not see Scans, click Security first.
  3. Click Run Quick Scan. A bar shows how far along it is. Leave the computer on until it says it is done.
  4. Read the result. If Norton says it found something, click the button it offers to fix it. If you are unsure, call us.

A Quick Scan only takes a few minutes. It is fine to keep using the computer while it runs.
