Thank you for the assistance. This is great information. It makes sense now that I have read it again.

Thanks,

If you remove the ccapp.exe then what do you do for terminal servers running sysmantec antivirus? Do you just run scheduled scans more frequently instead of auto protect? I have antivirus corporate version 10.1 and would like ccapp.exe to stop running on my citrix servers for all sessions, but I am afraid of exposing them without the auto protect.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Read point 2 again. “…the system continues to be protected by the underlying Auto-Protect capability of RTVScan.exe, which runs as a service…” So you’re not exposing your systems by remving ccapp.exe. You could indeed run a nightly scan at say 2 or 3am, if you wished.

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Hi,

Thanx for the tips.

i've changed the permissions on smcgui.exe ans now the sessions could be closed without problem.

Have a nice day.

Regards,

Siegfried

You might want to consider disabling the OfficeScan NT Proxy Service which breaks all sorts of HTTP services.
