Question:

What is endpoint protection doing to my network that will be slowing software over the network. I have setup exceptions for the program files folders of the programs in question and the shared network drive. Also i have setup exceptions for the myob database file exception which is .myo and the other program affected which is .mdb.

The problem goes away when we disable the antivirus shield on the client computers.

How can i fix this issue?

Answer:

Change Settings | Configure Antivirus and AntiSpyware Protection | File System Auto-Protect

File Types change to selected

Options | untick Scan files on network drives

Advanced | Scan when a file is modified

Floppies | untick if your machines have no floppy drive |

----------------------

Change Settings | Client Management | Schedules Updates

Change the Frequency to daily : and select a time ( lunch is usually a good time )

-----------------------

Scan for threats :

If you have a scheduled scan you may want to tune the settings for better performance

-----------------------

Other things to note , if you have SEP installed on servers you may want to add exceptions for certain services such as Domain Controllers , SMS , WSUS , SQL and other applications like Email.

If clients have local copies of their emails , outlook , notes , groupwise you may want to exclude this directory from threat protection.


incidentally : MR3 is the latest release of the software you should be able to download from symantec's file connect website : https://fileconnect.symantec.com/licenselogin.jsp

It gives greater performance that previous version which may also help.

Please Note:

My website is being overhauled.

I spent hours just working with new technology and really got it pretty fancy, but it was soooo convoluted with stuff that it's time to do a redesign.

It will be up at the end of the November so please make a note of it so i can start posting Q&A up there!!! http://www.nknarula.com

The blogosphere is abuzz over a newly publicized bug in Windows 7. I read about it yesterday on Chris123NT's blog, where it was described as a "critical bug in Windows 7 RTM." The story picked up momentum today when InfoWorld's Randall Kennedy (the man behind the "Save XP" Astroturf campaign) published a sensational polemic: "Critical Windows 7 bug risks derailing product launch." Tom Warren at Neowin called it "rather nasty" but sensibly concluded that it's far from a "show stopper."

My conclusion? It's alarming behavior if you're unaware of what's happening. But (click here for more)

Have you passed by the bright orange building? If you have tire, brakes, alignment, struts, etc, be sure to stop in for friendly and honest service at Geralds Tires and Brakes. They have truly mastered the art of customer service. I've been taking my car to Geralds for over 15 years. I'll never forget my first experience. I was 18 and drove a Mustang. The brakes had been squeaking and this college student was on her own. I took my car into a name brand auto shop known for brakes to find out what was wrong. The techinican told me my brakes needed to be replaced and it would cost $750. $750 to a college student might have well as been asking for my index finger. I couldn't afford $750! I drove away just about in tears wondering where I would come up with the money. I passed by Geralds in the bright orange building and decided to stop in for a 2^nd opinion and hopefully a lower price. After 45 mins, a friendly face squatted beside my chair and said, "Ma'm, your rear brakes are squeezing because they need to be adjusted. We took care of it for you and there's no charge. Have a great day!" It was everything in me not to bear hug this man. I said, "Are you sure? Because I just got an estimate from someone else that told me my brakes had to be replaced."

"Yes Ma'm. I'm sure."

Then it dawned on me that this other place tried to rip me off! As I got in my car, there was a single red rose on the passenger seat with a printed note that said, "Thanks for letting us serve you!"

Hello!? They were honest about the work needed. Fixed it. Didn't charge me for it and then give me a rose. Talk about knowing how to treat a lady! I've never gone anywhere else for anything they can do. Granted they are always busy so there may be a wait, but there is always a friendly face to greet you and I know I will get an honest assessment. And I know you will too! Also, if you purchase your tires from Geralds, they offer free tire rotation and flat tire plugs and patches for the life of your tires. Can't beat that!

Geralds Tires and Brakes has 6 Charleston area locations. They are open Monday-Saturday but you'll want to get there first thing in the morning to avoid the long lines. Visit their website, http://www.geraldstires.com, for more info.
