Configuration tips

Make sure that your environment and operating system meet the requirements for your antivirus application.
Schedule automatic scans during off-business hours.
Don't let workstations do real-time scans on server drives. Let the server scan its own drives to reduce network delays and minimize interference with traffic.
You might need to exclude any antispyware and antimalware applications from scanning.
Go to Microsoft's antivirus exclusion list and Citrix's guidelines for antivirus software configuration for more help.
