![]() now it's often too late /if/ anti-virus identifies malware, given I only see stupid false positives now, and we still need specialist tools like Unchecky and AdwCleaner, to block and delete injected malware, including adware. which causes loads of time wasting, and the sad-mins don't allow any exclusion control!!!Īnti-virus is mostly pointless dinosaur tech. It's an f'ing sluggish pain on my work machine because it keeps pointlessly scanning my big development projects etc. The good thing about VIPRE is that it's very lightweight and doesn't slow your PC down whilst scanning unless you have a very old single core processor PC and most AVs will clobber them.Ĭan't McAfee (and Symantec) just go backrupt and be turfed in the bitbucket already! ThreatTrack also do a product called VIPRE for Exchange which sifts out malware and spam and is quite configurable allowing you to create custom rules to block spam with certain words in the body or subject and add people to allowed or blocked senders. The free version does not include the real-time scanning engine so it won't conflict with your main AV program.īetween those two you get pretty good coverage. ![]() It seems pretty good at catching most of the viruses that normal (as in non-porn site visitingīusiness) users encounter, however it seems to miss a lot of the PUP (Potentially Unwanted Programs) type annoyances like ASK, Conduit, Alot and so on, so I tend to also have a copy of Malwarebytes free loaded as well so that if a user thinks they have been hit by something they can run a quick scan with that and it will shift the PUPs. The corporate AV solution has a server console that communicates with the client PCs and is pretty easy to manage. They do both standalone and corporate versions. I recommend VIPRE by ThreatTrack security. I am with another commenter here in that my experience is that McAfee/Intel just misses too much stuff. ![]() I'm going to keep an eye on the specifics you mention to see if we still have an issue.Re: Fellow commentards - help needed pls.Īll products seem to have weaknesses, if they are very good at catching everything they seem to slow your PCs to a crawl and if they are fast they seem to miss everything. ![]() The tblf_firewallagregated_event table was definitely the culprit. I got the server operational again, and cleanup jobs that were indeed failing are now working again and I have 58% free space in the database. In case table taking most of the space is tblf_firewallagregated_event, could you also verify that oldest entry as stored in column "Occurred" is not older than ~1 month? Asking, because in case there is huge amount of entries in mentioned table, it might have resulted in daily cleanups to fail and thus not cleaning older entries.Īlso in case there are many such event reported in a minute, are they all from different devices? Or clients are sending multiple identical events in a minute? If so, we might have to check whether event aggregation works correctly. Could you please access database via SQL Server Management Studio and provide us basic sizing statistics (number of entries, overall size of table) for problematic DB tables (there are standard reports available for this). ![]()
