If you were to delete the whole Custom Tasks key, then I would say after next login.  As for the key you posted, it wouldn't matter.  As long as the CreatedUserQuickScan key is there, it shouldn't come back.  Since you don't delete it, it won't come back.

That makes a lot of sense, thx.

Now you could just import the key at t-12, or import it into the default profile, and not have to delete it at all.

Not sure I understand this part...can you explain a bit more?

I tried adding the CreatedUserQuickScan to HKU\.DEFAULT\Software...etc but it didn't affect new users logging in on the machine - they got the auto generated scan for their first logins until the login script command I set up deleted it from their HKCU....

rem * Removing auto-created startup scan to avoid high CPU usage.
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Custom Tasks" /f

This is only a temporary solution.  You need to add the key I specified in post 43 of this thread.  When SAV doesn't see it, it will create the startup scan.  The Symantec solution is similar, but adds an extra key, which isn't really needed.

sleepnmojo, what is the timeframe for the re-creation of the automatic startup scan? I have removed it from PCs on my network by deleting the key I posted previously (no need to delete the entire 'Custom Tasks') and been through several reboots and it has not come back, without adding your key.

upon further investigation I found I was able to get rid of the auto-generated quickscan simply by deleting the following key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Intel\Landesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Custom Tasks\TaskPadStartup\Auto-Generated QuickScan]

not sure why the symantec workarounds remove so much other registry information!

DoScan.exe causes high CPU usage

Situation:

You installed Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.0. After you restart the computer, you notice that the process DoScan.exe is using a large amount of CPU and memory. After the DoScan.exe process completes, the Rtvscan.exe process is using about 40 MB of memory.

Solution:

Symantec is investigating this problem to determine a solution. This document will be updated when new information or a solution is available.

The DoScan.exe process is part of the default startup Quick Scan that runs after a user logs on. You cannot disable this Quick Scan using Symantec System Center.

I already posted a fix.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

are you referring to the registry entry fix? I was hoping for a way to correct it from the System Center

I think post # 36 (from the readme) answers my question however:

'is not configurable from the Symantec System Center.'

that sucks :/

what is the point of the system center if you can't completely configure the client install options.

[Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.0.0.359]

anyone know how to disable the auto quickscan from the system center console (for all registered clients) ?
