McAfee VirusScan Enterprise

[djmg2]

Hi,

this may be the second time I post this as I posted 16 hours ago but
cannot find any trace of it on Google!

We have two Win Terminal Servers - a 2000 one with 20 users and a 2003
server with 15 users. Both have McAfee VirusScan 8.0 Enterprise
installed. However, each user that logs on gets a process (actually
about 2 or 3 processes related to McAfee) which consumes between 20 and
30MB.

So with 20 users, around 600MB is given just to a/v! We do have 2GB of
memory on the servers, so not a major issue, but I wondered if I should
be configuring this any differently? Or is there a better suited
product to protect users?

If it only ran as administrator, and a user (without the process
started for them) got a virus, would the admin process detect? Does
that make sense?

Any advice would be greatly received.

Thanks,

Each AV Program is different, so the first place to look is the installation
documentation to see if there are special things you need to do on Terminal
Server. Some non-TS Friendly AV Scanners load the AV Shield in the
notification area, which can do what you describe.

I have a list of TS friendly AV Programs here:

Hi,

We have McAfee 8.0 also here running on TServers (11 of them) and we use a
special product just for Thin Client put out by McAfee called VirusScan TC
V6.1.0 which is geared more for Terminal Servers. If you purchased the
EPolicy Orchestrator 3.5 with Mcafee AV 8.0 you might have access to download
this version, check your grant number and go to

Hope this helps you.
