Endpoint Protection

Is it possible to modify any settings to alter the number of virus definitions that are saved locally on the clients.  Most of the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs folders are around 450 MB.  Is this normal?  Also, most 'VirusDefs' folders contain 3 or 4 folders.  Usually the last three days and then a folder from back in June.  Is this being caused by an issue on the SEPM.  Thanks for any insight!

VirusDefs folder of 450 MB is normal.

In a normal case the folder will contain about 10 files/folder.

There is no issue with the SEPM or the client, you can delete the folder that is from june

Hello,


Usually 450MB is normal....

However..incase you feel that thats very high as well....

Then, Check this :


If you go to Admin > Right Click on the Local Site > Properties > You could go to the Database Tab and change the database size as per your requirement... (now that stands for the Database size ....)







Since your Concern is the Virus Defintions Folder Size....


Go to Admin > Right Click on the Local Site > Properties > You could go to the Liveupdate Tab

Change the Diskspace Management for Download from 3 to 2 or lower (as per your requirement)

(by default it is 3days)
