Re: IFS and Virus Scanning

Clearly, using a virus scanner on the IFS will cause havoc on your save
strategy.  If you need to do this regularly, you might consider using
save-while-active on the IFS, where transaction integrity is normally not
time critical.

We are using Norton AV Corporate edition here for our virus protection.
Recently a virus was found in a NetServer V5R1 share.  I scanned all of the
shares on our AS400.  That night when we did a change object backup on our
shares, well everything was marked as changed.  Is this something Norton AV
did or was it Netserver that marked them all as changed due to the fact
that
Norton opens everything for update in case a virus is found.  None were
found and nothing was really updated.  Sure blew our backup strategy to
heck
and back. ;-)

When scanning my PC, the modified date is not changed so why on a Netserver
share?
