Manage antivirus software

Antivirus software should be turned off for Touchstone and Touchstone Re installations.

When accessing local Catalog files during analyses, both Touchstone and Touchstone Re perform intensive read/write operations on the local disk. Antivirus scans slow down these operations.

If your company policy requires antivirus software be turned on, you can exclude Touchstone and Touchstone Re product folders from antivirus scans. You can also exclude the Microsoft HPC recommended locations from antivirus scans.
