Mike, Excluding the R:Base files would certainly help as they would not be scanned; however, if the delay is caused by Symantec "hogging" resources, then the obvious solution is to change the scheduler time when either your utilities of Symantec run so there is no overlap. One of my clients uses AVG anti-virus and I noticed than when it runs a scan, its use of resources goes to close o 100% and the computer slows down to crawl, perhaps that is your case as well. Most AV programs can be tweaked to use less resources; I have not used Symantec for while so I cannot help you there ( I use Vipre), hopefully someone with Symantec experience can chime in.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2011 3:38 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - AV scan considerations My computer runs about 300 R:BASE routines (data loads, reports, etc.) against several databases every day. The Symantec SEP program runs an AV scan each Thursday morning. Unfortunately the scan is co-incident with my 300+ routines. The AV scan extends the run time of my programs by almost 3 hours. It's not a good thing. I am wondering if excluding the databases from the scan would help. Would excluding my R:BASE command files help? Anyone else have experience and wisdom they could share regarding AV scan configurations?
