Hi Ronnie,
i/o tends to be skewed towards mostly read activity.
If you checked on write to make sure no virus was written to the disk how else
is it going to get there?
If you want to be paranoid do a nightly scan as well, the only thing you'll
accomplish in checking on read is to slow your systems down. Disk i/o (and
network i/o) are the most common system bottlenecks already, why make it any
worse than you have to.

Subject: [THIN] Trend - scanning on citrix
Hi,
I am currently moving all my citrix servers to the new OfficeScan v7 from
Server Protect.
Question:
Currently some of the servers were set to set to incoming only and
others were set to incoming & outgoing.
My thinking would be to use incoming and outgoing as this would be more
secure, but there may be processing overheads.
Has anyone any thoughts on this?
Thanks
Ronnie
