Kill Symantec AntiVirus scan-on-connect windows
Authored by: Todd at Symantec on Sep 08, '06 03:52:27PM

I think y'all are confusing Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh (SAV Mac) and Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh (NAV Mac).

SAV Mac is a managed endpoint security solution for enterprises.
NAV Mac is our consumer product.

If you have SAV Mac, then ask your administrator create and push out an Auto-Protect preference set with Mount Scan disabled to your SAV Mac client.

If SAV Mac is not managed, then you will need to download the unmanaged component from our FTP site:
ftp.symantec.com/misc/tools/mactools/Symantec_AP_Prefs_Installer.zip

This will install the System Preferences Auto-Protect pane, where you can configure (among other things) Mount Scan.

If you are running NAV Mac, then you already have the Auto-Protect pane to turn off Mount Scan.
