Yep it's a goner for us too. In fact we have pretty much jumped ship on Symantec as a whole. BUE going to Commvault, Symantec AV going to ESET, management may be less intuitive but at least it works and doesn't require a datacenter to run it. It will be a year or two before we have them phased out of all our clients.

Resolved by having it only check certain filetypes (bat/vbs). This is talked about a lot in forums. Strike 2 - I found 1-2gb if .tmp folders/files in the program files \ common files \ Symantec shared \ virusdefs folder. Apparently this has been happening and is well known. Strike 3 - If you have java 1.06 the deployment console wont work you have to remove all the java version and let Symantec install it for you through the web interface. Updating afterwards to 1.06 seems to break the console getting an app notinited. Didn't find any complaints about this but I didn't look too long. Thanks and enjoy your rollout as I have J ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
