<< so it only scans files that have changed.>> That's the problem with most virus scanners. Consider a 200mb file with a million records in it. What do you think the virus scanner is going to do each time a record (even one character) is changed in that file?
Some of them must be intelligent enough to only access the parts of the file that have changed, such as the higher level backup programs do now. But I bet the majority will just see the file as changed and scan the whole thing. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 August 2004 13:58 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] Anti-virus recommendations for Universe on Windows? > Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 09:51:36 -0700 > From: David Scoggins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > ... > We now are considering installing McAfee AV on the Universe > servers anyway in light of this event.

Consider looking at Sophos (http://www.sophos.com). You can download an evaluation version from their website, although you do have to register to get it. I don't use U2 on Windows, but I know that Sophos takes a very non-intrusive approach and does not affect system performance as much as Norton. The "on access" scanner keeps track of clean files, so it only scans files that have changed. --Tom Pellitieri Century Equipment Toledo, Ohio ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ The information contained in this email is strictly confidential and for the use of the addressee only, unless otherwise indicated.
