The default install includes a boot-time full scan. I didn't
think it defaulted to scannning network drives as well as local
disks, though - that's an option I'd avoid.
The default install gives access to the VirusScan Console via a
rightclick on the VShield icon in the system tray or an entry
in the Start-Programs-NetworkAssociates menu.
We do see some machines running slow here while the boot-time
scan is running. Killing the scan32 process sorts that out, and
if you have admin rights you can tell it not to run, or to run
at a different time, in the Console - if the mcshield process
is killing your machines, you might want to look for another
product, or at least take a very close look at what options are
set up for the On Access scanner.
