Stop virus scanning documents for VPN users!

[Tuffers]

Hi, we just use the basic XP or Vista VPN connection but when a user access a document from the folder share it takes a while to open as it virus scans it.

Most people use AVG free. Is there a way to stop this?

no one?

Is this in a corporate environment or something similar? You should be able to configure their AV installations to exclude the directories the documents reside in, and have a server or another machine set to scan those directories in case an infected file does end up in there. Not ideal, but should cover it.
