The virusdefs If you do not have any Symantec product on your machine other than NIS, you do not need these folders. When you were searching for the various virscan.

These folders are the virus definition files for the given dates. In addition to the virscanN.

I have the same question 0. Reg: Jun Hello there all, have a strange problem with my SEP v11 system which started a couple days ago and my googling skills have been unable to divine me a solution.

The start of the issue was when my health monitor tool on our SEP Manager server alarmed that the C drive was close to running out of disk space. After some googling for hints I shut down the SEP services, pulled all the.

All seemed fine until 30 minutes ago when the health monitor alarm brought my attention back and the bloody folder is back up to 17GB in size in 24 hours. Any help on what's giong on this this cancer of a Virus Def folder? RE: SymcData folder rapidly fills disk space. Posted Jan 07, AM. Let us know if the upgrade was helpful in resolving this issue. Cheers, Aniket. Martin Hess.

I first deleted the tmp folders to get enough disk space for an upgrade, then upgraded to RU5. This resolved the issue, no more tmp folders Posted Jan 07, PM. I spoke to Symantec Support and they pointed me to this article: service1. Oh Symantec Admins, any way we can get on a notification list for when the next patch comes out to resolve this?

Clients taking updates from SEPM will still show definitions as that hasn't been fixed yet. Posted Jan 09, PM. However, now, if I start the "symantec management client service", users have very slow logons, the server loses connectivity, and users cannot see shares.

If the service is stopped, this all goes away. How do I get smc to run without these other problems? Posted Jan 10, PM. We just spent two days rebuilding our Symantec environment here because Endpoint V11 has several known problems with workstations locking up. It cost us two thousand in labor to reload all workstations last week and now because the clocked rolled into , our system is screwed up again. This is the most administrative intensive application on our network and it's become evident that Symatec is testing their software on our systems.

How could a thorough beta program not turn up such significant bugs as lockups and temp file deletion problems?
