mcAfee Dat update slows down Advanced Host monitor

Post by dgovaerts »

Anyone had the following problem:
Every morning around the same hour our Advanced Host monitor seems to miss a few tests or loggings of tests. This period sometimes takes up to 40 minutes. We think that McAfee is taking all the cpu after it's dat update every morning, but we are afraid that in that time period Advanced Host monitor is missing sometimes critical events. Anyone some advice?

Yeah, antivirus monitors often lead to various problems :(
Advise? Usually we recommend to install HostMonitor on "clean" system without any antivirus, personal firewalls, content monitoring software.
I understand its not always possible...

As we know this problem related to McAfee Real Time Scanning module released in March 2010.
I think you should contact McAfee developers, may be they have solution for the problem.
