There are few PCs installed with Symantec Endpoint protection 11.0. The problem is every time, whenever the scheduled scan runs, the PCs sure hung. What's went wrong and to resolve it?

Does it look like the hard drive is being highly utilized or what's the CPU utilization?  Our company went with SEP from SAV and I totally hate the scheduled scans.  My computer becomes completely useless during the scheduled scan.  When I investigated, the hard drive was being highly utilized.  Used Sysinternals' file monitor.

More than likley rtvscan.exe is using upwards of 50% of the CPU.......SEP is an app that is very heavy on resources.

Are you doing the scans after hours?
