Anti-Virus Settings

The Appvance IQ installation package is sizable and the vast majority of the contents will never change between installations or upgrades. Because of this, you can exclude the AIQinstallation folder the from the scheduled daily / weekly / monthly scans. Doing so will reduce the time and resources devoted to these scans. Also if these folders are not excluded, you may see some unexpected behavior in AIQ.

For example, this may impact scenario executions, specially on DS and DS3 engines that write many temporary files for requests and responses.

Following are some of the top Anti-virus programs from which the files and folders of Appvance IQ should be excluded:

• AVG Anti-virus
• Avast Anti-virus
• Kasperskey Anti-virus
• McAfee Virus Scan
• Norton Anti-virus
• Symantec Endpoint protection
• Windows Defender

See McAfee slows down Appvance IQ (Windows) for specific recommendations for McAfee.
