Hi;
On my computer at work, we have McAffee Virusscan enterprise 8.0
installed. It has Patch 13 Installed with Scan Engine 5100. The
computer searches every file on the harddrive and on the network and it
grinds to a halt. It is impossible to get anything done because it is
so slugish. This happens everytime you start the computer.
I want to adjust the settings, but I cant figureout how. The program is
started up in the task manager. If I right click on the shield icon,
all I can see is "On Access Scan Statistics" and "About". If I double
click the shield icon, the "On Access Scan Statistics" screen pops up.
There are no icons in the Program Files directory. If I go to the
mcaffee folder, there is only one app with an icon...That is the
UpdaterUI. There are a couple other exe files, but if ran they go to a
dos window, run quickly and close the dos window.
How can I adjust the settings on this? If I cant adjust the settings,
What tsr files should I close from my Windows Task Manager Window?
Any advise is appreciated
Pat |

Hi Dave;
> If it is setup correctly, you can't. The Admnistrator can.
I am an administrator for the section and I have all of the
Administrator passwords. I do not see a VirusScan Console on the
system. I am thinking about uninstalling the application on 15
computers, and then reinstalling it. I do not have the app on CD, I
have to download it from the corporate server. That will be a pain, but
I might have to do it.

This may work....just hitting alt+cntrl+delete and ending the process.

It scans every file on the hard drive and on mapped network drives. We
log on and off with a Common Access Card and everytime that is done, it
starts the scan.
>
> Settings are done in the VirusScan Console.
>
> Is it performing a "On Demand" scan ?
> Is it examining all file types while scanning in "On Access" mode ?
Yes...It is examining all files when the computer is started up or
logged on.
> Is "scan files on Network Drives" enabled ?
