startup scan
Hi have just fitted an SSD drive for my main boot drive and have been advised to make several changes to minimise the disk read/write. One of those is to disable startup scan on my anti virus. I am running the lasest NOD AV only and wonder if someone could help me by describing how to disable this?
Thanks |

Re: startup scan
Hello rollers
Please read this concerning why it is not advisable to turn off startup permanently : http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showp...2&postcount=10 If you insist, then then take a look on this link : How do I temporarily disable the startup scan? ( or permanently ), but please consider carefully before turning off startup scan, you are seriously weakening your defence.

Hi, and thanks for your reply. I am not overly knowledable with SSD drives, so I am guessing that the startup scan will not be doing too much in the way of read/write and won't affect my drive adversly? I shall heed your advice and leave it switched on. Thanks |

Re: startup scan
SSDs are not sensitive about reads ( which a typicall scan does) but for writes (which a scan never should do except in case of an infection). So having scan enabled at startup should not raise an issue with wearing out your SSD.

Re: startup scan
As Marcos mentioned, it is not safe practice to disable your start-up scan in any way.
This link http://www.wilderssecurity.com/searc...archid=4668013 should provide a search for "startup scan" on the ESET board but not child boards. NB: You must be logged in the the Forum for the link to work.
