What Components run during a Full System Scan

Hi, 

 

- Windows 7 64-bit

- Norton 360

 

I'm working with an Admin over at the Windows 7 forum to determine if my Norton 360 Full System scans are affecting an issue within IE10.

 

What are the components that run during a 360 Full System Scan?  I want to eliminate the Full Sys Scan "cleanup" actions, ie, delete temp files, disk defrag, etc. , for troubleshooting purposes.

 

I unchecked all components in this section but am not sure what else Norton performs during the Sys scan besides scanning the HDD's on my PC.

 

I wanted to post a screencap of my PC Tuneup settings but am not sure how to do that here.

 

If all of the PC Turneup components are unchecked, is there any difference between running a Full System Scan and my HDD, assuming there is only 1 HDD accessable on my PC?

 

I see that I can select "Drive Scan" in the "Run Scans" section.  If I have all of my PC Tuneup options unchecked, does a Drive Scan (ie, "C" Drive) do the same thing as the Full Sys Scan?

 

Will a Drive Scan access the entire HDD, MBR sectors, etc?
