Thank you. Yes we have not installed any on-access scanner except McAfee and it is disabled. We even excluded the local drives to make sure it stays out of the picture. We scan with ClamAV, F-Protect, and AVG and each of those do not even have an on-access scanner on. Alert managers and schedulers are on, however, to update the virus signatures for each. This cannot interfere, right?
I am wondering if this may relate to a Windows server, perhaps, which does disk file level scanning? Is there a recommended disable list of services that might do this in Windows 2000 Server? Does Distributed File System need to be disabled, for example? Is there a System Restore feature that might interfere? Thanks.
