Blasted NAV throttles SETI...

[OhioDude]

I recently installed Norton AV Corporate 7.6 throughout the office. The only system in the building running Windows My Enemy slowed to a c...r......a.......w..........l on Seti. We're talking from 15 hrs per wu to about nine days! :Q

I have configured Norton realtime protection to bypass checking the S@H folder, turned off email checking, and I've even shut off RT protection all together. It still crawls. Just as a test, I completely removed NAV from that one machine and low and behold, S@H goes back to normal speeds. Norton AV 2000 co-existed just fine with Seti on this system.

Anyone have a similar experience? Any ideas on how to get both to play nice?

Wow... sorry to hear NAV Corp doesn't play well with Seti. I use NAV Personal edition on my computer here at home, and I'm pretty sure I have real-time protection running, but my Seti times aren't being affected. I wish I had some answers for you, but here's a bump for you in case someone else knows. I don't suppose it's an ideal solution, but could you install NAV Personal edition on all the computers?

Mcafee has an option to check all files or just executables. I have noticed a serious seti problem when it is set to check all files but not when it is set to only check exe's
Hope this helps.

And if you think of it, the CLI runs at priority 4, so NAV is running even higher than that all the time! Right?

What I notice in my 2 XP pcd, is that if I have Seti running the pcs will crawl to any command (to show the pages when surfing, or when trying to open any folder), but if I shut it down, it will go back to narmal speed.
With XP, I couldn't use my Norton AV 2000, I had to buy the 2001, because 2k crashed almost inmediatly.

I remember seing others are having problem with NAV 2002 and SETI. I haven't tried to upgrade, we are still using NAV 2000 and NAV 2001 on all of the computers here. My guess is that NAV 2002 has other options turn on by default. Perhaps they added other new features as well.

Information on which Anti-VIRUS protection is effective and friendly with SETI is needed. Please keep this thread alive and let everyone know how to make an anti-virus program to coexist with SETI.

Some of the computer users in my office are requesting to upgrade their anti-virus program. Soon I'll be forced to do so and without knowledge of which program works better with SETI, I'm afraid SETI productions will suffer.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I went to NAV Corporate instead of personal because it is a managed solution. I can monitor everyone's virus protection, including the servers, from the Symantec System Center installed on my machine. It also distributes new definitions on a weekly basis to all of the clients automatically. After watching several people continually get viruses because they didn't keep their definitions updated, NAV Corporate was the way to go for me. I suppose I could go back to NAV Personal on this ME machine, but unfortunately it's one that seems to get infected the most often.

I even turned off all real-time protection and email scanning. It didn't have any effect. There is obviously one or more daemons that run that are hogging CPU from Seti. Anybody know of a nice process watcher that can analyze CPU time in Windows ME like the task manager in NT and Win2k?

Sukhoi --
That would appear to be the case. Would SetiDriver allow me to elevate the priority of S@H in WIndows ME? Or does anyone know how to lower priorties of other processes under Windows ME?

Eltano1 --
I had to wait for NAV Corporate 7.6 over 7.5 because my system is XP Pro. By the way, I have not noticed any major slow downs with NAV Corporate 7.6 on my system.

Thanks again. I'm still open to any suggestions.

Get the link to ATM from Assim, it's a good process watcher. Don't know about changing the priorities. You could set SETI Driver to medium, but that might hurt other stuff.

 

[Eltano1]

Guys, I meant to said Norton AV 2002, that what I bought, and I'm running Seti a medium priority in both XP. I had my pcs without AV for 3 days and even then the pcs where really slow when Seti was running. So I don't know what is the deal between Seti and XP.

Thanks and best regards

Well, run it on low priority if it's slow on medium.

Sounds like another reason not to upgrade my Windows 2000 to XP. At least until SETI CLI & SETI Driver is rewritten for Windows XP.

I run one ME machine on NAV Corp 7.5 and have NO problems. Must be something changed with the 7.6 version. Can you run the 7.5 version on that machine?
