McAfee maxes out CPU on Windows NT server.
Is there a solution to this problem.

Check that it's not set to scan all files. I had this problem and modified it to only scan program files. This sorted the problem.

I have never had good luck with McAfee products. I have however had really good luck with Norton A/V. Things to check with McAfee. If you have it scanning when the screensaver kicks in, disable that. If you have a 3D screen saver, disable that.Use blank screen to not take CPU cycles away from the clients. Use Performance Monitor to get a history of your system, making sure it is McAfee and not another offending programs. Get the latest McAfee engine and virus definition file.

Thanx mrandy, but my problem still going. The problem started when we loaded the latest engine and definitions.
