Re: [PLUG] that's nice

A lot of companies are running virus scanners during the day because 
their users are working with laptop that don't stay powered on all the

much work is lost during this time by not tuning it to not be so 
aggressive.  Security is only interested in one thing and that is 
covering their own @sses.
