Hi,
I tend to work at all hours. Often, McAfee or Norton will scan
for hours as I'm working away. It slows everything down tremendously.
I haven't found a way to lower the priority of the scan process so that
it proceeds "opportunistically" (like unix's "nice" command). Is there
a way to do this? I'm using Windows 2000 Pro.
Thanks.
Fred
If the solution exists, it might be a AV software thing or a general
windows thing. Hence, I've posted to posted to alt.com.vius,
alto.com.anti-virus, microsoft.public.win2000.security, and
microsoft.public.win2000.general. I will include responses in my
response to avoid fragmenting the thread.
