Automatic Scan starts when user logins into the computer
Hi,

I have noticed that when a user logon's on to a computer which has symantec antivirus v 10.1.4 installed using the managed setup from the server.

For some reason the scan starts automatically in the background. How does one stop that scan?

As it really slows down the users computer.

Thanks

I don't know how to stop it (other than using Task Manager to kill the process) but suggest to change the option to start it. My guess is that there is an option set to always scan on boot or to always scan whenever updates have been installed (which seems to average more than once a day).

Every scanner, even Norton, should allow scanning at a time one chooses...
Either on boot, login, or a timely event set when there is no or little system use.
