About Reputation Scan Reputation Scan provides information on the trust-worthiness of all programs and running processes on your computer. It helps you detect the files that are suspicious or vulnerable on your computer using the reputation-based threat detection. Norton AntiVirus lets you run different types of Reputation Scan and detect suspicious programs on your computer. Reputation Scan filters the files on the basis of certain filtering criteria and performs an Insight Network Scan on the filtered files. Reputation Scan filters the files as reputation files. It filters .exe files, .scr files, .sys files, .dll files, .drv files, .ocx files, .loc files, and .msi files and analyzes these files. When you perform a Reputation Quick Scan or Full System Scan, Norton AntiVirus considers the Files of Interest that are available on your computer. After it has filtered the reputation files, Norton AntiVirus performs an Insight Network Scan. When Norton AntiVirus performs an Insight Network Scan, it also performs a Computer Scan. Norton AntiVirus uses the Computer Scan to perform the signature-based threat detection. It compares the signature of the filtered reputation files against the known threat signatures to identify threats on your computer. If a security threat is detected, Norton AntiVirus automatically removes the threat from your computer.
