Title: Norton Antivirus 2006
Post by Kelloggs on 01/26/06 at 15:08:53

We just installed Norton Antivirus 2006 on a couple of computers.

Every time we try to load DBA, it complete freezes.

We have disable auto protect, exclude the entire
F:\DBAMFG , exclude *.RUN, but the problem continues.

Does anyone on the forum has experience this problem?


Regards,

Kelloggs

i posted under another thread ... that since the last update (1/12/06) we have been slower than normal.

I also excluded the dbamfg folder as well as the *.run files ... it helped some.

you also need to exclude the C:\ISTS\evoerp.exe and tp7runtime.exe files. That will help too.

Seems like all the icons flash in & out on the top right section of the window.  for example: when entering a PO the icons flash everytime you advance from field to field.

If the toolbar is turned on, the icons are also in your C:\ISTS folder.  If the Norton is scanning them every time too, exclude the ICO files in the ISTS folder.  That will speed up the screen refresh.

I excluded the entire C:\ISTS folder.... but will also exclude the icons.

I just took norton off my machine and installed AVG FREE. That, and going to an all TCPip protocall and 1g nic cards speeded up things a lot.

We've dumped Norton as well and have noticed improvements. We're using Panda - the Webadmin is great - you can set up profiles online and everyone assigned to that profile will be updated any time you make a change to it (like adding C:\ISTS to the ignore list).

We're only a small company and it's worth it even to us to have the centralized admin. Can't imagine a place with 50 or 100 stations to keep updated.
