Exchange XMON Creating Large Temp files

Hi all,

Our exchange server some times creates large (500MB+) files in the C:\WINDOWS\Temp directory. These files are deleted, so I imagine they are used as part of teh scanning process.

Can I configure NOD to use an alternative location. I'd rather these files weren't written the the C: Drive.

Also, the largest file I can see transferred around the time I saw one of these large files created was 1MB. So why would a 500MB file be created?

Regards,

Andrew

 

Hi Andrew,
NOD32 only creates temp files when scanning inside archives. It could be that a so-called archive bomb resides in the Exchange store which causes NOD32 to create large temp files during extraction. As for the option allowing you to customize the temp folder, it was introduced in XMON 2.71 (currently beta, downloadable from http://www.eset.com/xmonbeta).

 

Thanks for the response.
I'll await a production release of 2.71
