With McAfee you can exclude some directories from VirusShield, which speeds things up a bit if you have to use McAfee.
since you mentioned McAfee... if you have to run Oracle on IDE drives download DMACheck from Microsoft if you want to try using UDMA. Another question from me... is it a bad thing to use UDMA with Oracle? I think it just lets disk write bypass the NT kernel, not sure if there are buffered writes in there. [don't ask why I am running Oracle with IDE drives, it's a test db. Some people might be running Personal Oracle.] Regards, Patrice Boivin Systems Analyst (Oracle Certified DBA) Systems Admin & Operations | Admin. et Exploit. des syst�mes Technology Services | Services technologiques Informatics Branch | Direction de l'informatique Maritimes Region, DFO | R�gion des Maritimes, MPO E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Boivin, Patrice J INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
