Recommended Symantec anti-virus scanned exemptions

Asked by Spec01 in Security Software, Anti-Virus, Desktop Anti-Virus

Hello Fellow Experts,

We are looking to investigate ways to speed up the process of virus scanning. I understand that there are file exemptions that need to be added like log files. Currently what is happening is we have Symantec Anti-virus doing a virus scan and then a program call Counterspy is scanning the files again. This means its taking twice as long to complete this. Sounds easy enough.

I would like some help with determining what files Symantec recommends to exempt when doing the virus scan.

I  would also like the exemptions that Counterspy recommends.

I have found the Microsoft Recommendations for Windows computers here... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.Start Free Trial
