Why must they waste my first hour every day?
-
Why must the IT dept schedule the virus checker to run just after you log in each morning and it takes a good hour+ to run. (We all are required to have several network disks attached and I am sure it is scanning them all.) I can hardley do anything that first hour. :mad::confused::sigh: "For as long as I can remember, I have had memories. Colin Mochrie."
Don't get me started. Mine scans every night at 9pm... unless of course you actually need to get some work done at any time during the working day, in which case it will happily use 90% of my CPU and RAM to randomly scan everything it can get away with for two hours. Oh yeah, and when I restart too - that causes two more hours of system lockups and waiting for Notepad to finish reading its document back from the page file because they give me 256MB RAM and expect me to run Windows 2000, Dreamweaver, Visual Studio .NET 2003, IIS, SQL Server, ASP.NET and then have the cheek to ask me to do some work too! :mad: :sigh:

They're not wasting your time, they're giving you a chance to rest. After all that sleep in the night, you need it. :-D Regards, Rohit Sinha Browsy

Someone in the IT dept screwed up. Everyone knows that virus scanning should be set up to start the moment you click on "Build." "Your village called -

We had the same thing. Our IT had the virus scanner set to start at 10:30AM every damn day, and it took well over an hour and a half to run. So, to get around this, your truly wrote a little program to reboot the machine, popping a dialog telling me I had a 1 minute to close up before reboot. I scheduled this to run at 10:31, and presto! When I got back from the reboot, the virus scanner would not restart for the day, so I could go back to work (presumably it thought it was done?). ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

Sometimes when I log into the lab at school I get 2 or 3 virus scanners running at the same time. The best part is that its the same program. Jared jparsons@jparsons.org www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte477n
