Bob, Absolutely right. What's even worse is trying to do i/o with files over a network. The av program will consume mass amounts of resources scanning every file. For my own personal setup I only leave on my email/internet av on my local desktop. I have my av software updating its' signature files and performing a full system scan nightly. Every type of AV Software will have its own inherent 'resource hogs' some less than others.

Stull Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 1:31 PM - MGMT.TV To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Slow Web Messaging Possible Fix Hmmm....We've got a beta tester that was experiencing really slow web messaging also (2500 to 12000 users depending on semester). He was running Norton Corporate on the desktop with scanning for the IMail directories turned off. Soon as he turned off the desktop scanner...zoom. Everything hauled butt. Thought it was a fluke. Reading this makes me think that the desktop scanners are slowing things down by constantly scanning memory. On a mail server, with the in memory footprint constantly changing, that would be a killer. Am I on drugs?
