Faster virus scans
August 20th, 2007As hard disks and anti-virus definition databases grow tremendously year to year, more and more people find it difficult to do full anti-virus system scans on their networks. It is fairly common for companies to do a full system scan once a week on an automated schedule.
One of the most effective ways to decrease the time to scan a machine for viruses as much as 61% is regularlly schedule defragmentation using a product such as Diskeeper. We have found regular defragmentation decreases anti-virus scan times considerably. We also have noticed considerable shorter backup windows using enterprise defragementation than without.
