About the Idle Time Optimizer
Idle Time Optimizer lets you configure Norton 360 to
defragment your boot volume or the local disk that
contains boot volume when your computer is idle.
Norton 360 automatically schedules the optimization
when it detects the installation of an application on
your computer and your computer is idle. If you start
using your computer again, Norton 360 stops the
optimizationtask, andstartsoptimizingthe nexttime
that your computer is idle. This way, the background
