Don’t want to be annoyed by Performance Alerts shown by Norton Antivirus?, you can easily deactivate them. Remember AVG advisor notifications? -For instance, all of a sudden a notification pops up saying Firefox is using more memory, AVG recommends to close and reopen that application. Similarly, Norton Antivirus monitors system performance and offers Performance Alerts, which are enabled by default. If any program or process consumes too much system resources then you’ll be notified with a notification with the message ‘high disk usage by.. So and so application’.
With ‘Details & Settings’ link in the notification opens ‘File Insight’ window which shows file reputations details, its origin (source from it has download), Process ID, CPU, Memory usage and other information. You can exclude that file from Alerts right from File Insight window by clicking ‘don’t alert this file’
