Re: [ARSCLIST] Anti-virus on workstations?

[Aaron Russell <aaron@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the IT lab at UT Austin's School of Information, we have a Digi 002
Rack/Pro Tools LE system running on a Mac dual G5 with OS X 10.3.4.  We
found that if Norton Autoprotect was turned on, Pro Tools would not
record audio properly.  If I remember correctly, it would start
recording and then stop abruptly after a few seconds with a DAE error.
However, Norton Antivirus is still installed on that machine and not
causing problems with autoprotect disabled, and I assume that we could
use it to scan the system for viruses when not running Pro Tools.
