Antigen slow performance

[Guest Robert Louw]

Hi

 

I recently had to test Microsoft Antigen 9 with SP1 against McAfee

groupshield. Although Antigen and Groupshield were more or less the same

although Antigen had 2 engines and not 1 i have a major difference. For my

customer to move to Antigen they need to see that Antigen performes better.

 

the problem is that a Manual scan is 5 times slower than groupshields manual

scan. Testing in a lab with identical hardware and identical tests the

Antigen machine took an hour and a half comparted to Groupshield that took

only 22 minutes.

Can someone help me with tweaking or configuring Antigen so that it competes

with Groupshield?
