Endpoint Protection

Hi!

When I try to stop the Symantec Endpoint Protection Service, it stops. But after 3-5 minutes, the service activates him self. But the automaticly activation is set to 30 minutes..

How can I deactivate the Symantec Endpoint Protection Service (the antivirus) and activate it after 30 minutes..?

Regards

In Antivirus and Antispyware policy (File System Auto-Protect -> Advanced tab) you have the option:

When Auto-Protect is disabled: enable after ... minutes

I think you are searching for this settings.

However, I would recommend not changing this option for security reasons

that's what is set up, but it doesn't work.. it will be activated after 3 or 5 minutes..

I need this, that I can deactivate the antivirus client to make tests or install something.. it works in the version 10. there I can stop (as administrator) the antivirus service and after 30 minutes, it activates automaticly.. Is this not possible in the new version?

Regards 

What is the Symantec Endpoint Protection version you have installed?

I will test it on my RU6 MP3 (11.0.6300.803).

It seems that you need to lock the padlock (if it's open, the service restarts very quickly) which is next to "When Auto-Protect is disabled"

Hello,

The Steps below are not recommended, however worth a try.

Symantec Strongly recommends leaving Auto-protect to load at system startup due to the threat of network aware infectors that have the ability to compromise a machine before a user logs on.

How to configure when Auto-protect loads for Symantec Endpoint Protection managed clients:

1. Launch the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
2. Select the Policies tab in the left-hand pane.
3. Under "View Policies" select AntiVirus and Antispyware
4. In the right-hand window, select the policy that you wish to change Auto-protect's loading order for, then in the "Tasks" section, select Edit the policy.
5. In the left-hand column, select File System Auto-Protect
6. Select the Advanced tab
7. In the "Startup and Shutdown" section you will be able to specify when Auto-Protect loads.

Check the Screen Shot and check if that works for you.

Other factors that impact boot times:

By default, Symantec AntiVirus and Symantec Endpoint Protection run a startup quick-scan of the file system at system startup which is a low impact scan of common areas infectors are found.

its the version 11.0.6200.754 MP2..

@pete_4u2002: it is setting up correctly:

But on the clients it doesn't work. I cannot deactivate Symantec Endpoint Protection over the tray icon, because the, on German, "Netzwerkbedrohungsschutz" is activated.

MFG

have the clients updated with the policy applied on the group?

Yes, they are updated (on the client system protocol I can see the times of the updated policy)..

all these settings are for real time scan ( autoprotect , which runs inside the rtvscan.exe)

There is no such option to reactive after 30 mins.

You can stop it from the services.msc

yes, I can stop it there, but I want to automaticly reactivate it after 30 minutes.. is this not possible?

No....

Rafeeq, if I can reactivate AutoProtect after 5 minutes, why not after 30 minutes? Online help says valid values are between 3 and 60 minutes.
