I can see where some admins would want to disable that feature.

A policy option to disable the option to scan for threats on the client side would be good.

I am looking for this feature

I am looking for this feature as well,

We are builing a large VDI env and want to disable this, because users do not need to scan a read only VDI client!

and it gives an impact on the underlying storage which is not neccesary...

TKadmin,

The answer to this is to look at the root cause of the problem.  Running AV on clients increases IOPS to  Storage which then increases costs. Fix the root cause and the problem will go away.  In order to fix the root cause you need to buy more storage.  This will then drive up your VDI costs.  There are many alternative ways to increase Storage IOPS to accomodate AV.  Most can be found with a quick google searh.
