Full Version: BSOD during overnight hours

Greetings,

Mostly fishing for some options I might be able to set because I have a gut feeling on the cause..

General background info: I'm in a mixed environment; Netware, Windows and Unix. My machine has 6.03.847 (trial) installed. My machine performs some fairly extensive file-copies from various servers during the overnight hours.

Since installing KAV, when I arrive in the morning I have been greeted with a crisp BSOD. Upon reboot, Windows wants to report the blue screen and comes back with a generic "driver failure" message and links me to Dell's website where I can download their driver reset tool. - I have tried this tool and also a complete DBAN wipe / OS reinstall (twice!) and continue to get this blue screen.

CAVEAT: If I unload KAV prior to leaving work for the night, I get warm fuzzies in the morning... - NO BSOD!

Bottom line: This eval is not going too well.


Since the issue does not occur during the day where there is very light file activity, my gut tells me KAV is essentially getting a buffer overflow on the NDIS filter driver and choking out, giving up the BSOD.

Therefore, my final question before I toss in the towel and end my eval and move on to another manufacturer is:
Are there any settings I can choose that might allow the NDIS filter driver to handle the large volume of files KAV is looking at during my file copy process??

OR... - Quite simply, (as in SAV) can I tell it not to scan network drives at all?

Update: I found options for turning off scanning of network drives in file anti-virus and also for pause task on schedule and have set it to pause during overnight hours.

I will report back my findings tomorrow.

It looks like this may have worked for me...
