Antivirus settings

This information is primarily for administrators and/or people who manage Zylinc solutions

Antivirus software can reduce server performance, due to process and file locks in the operating system. Some communication objects and some file objects can be locked during antivirus scan.

Zylinc software requires high-speed processing of real-time event information. Therefore, Zylinc recommends that you exclude the following folders and processes from antivirus scanners:

  • C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation
  • C:\Program Files\Java
  • C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
  • C:\Program Files\Zylinc
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Zylinc
  • C:\ProgramData\Zylinc

You can get a list of the processes to exclude from antivirus scanning this way:

  1. Start PowerShell

  2. Make a copy of the following PowerShell code, and then right-click inside the PowerShell window. This will effectively paste and run the code in PowerShell.

    Copy 
    #
    $zyexe =Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Program Files\" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | where {$_.Extension -eq ".exe" -and ($_.FullName -like "*zylinc*" -or $_.FullName -like "*tomcat*" -or $_.FullName -like "*sqlservr*") } |select fullname
    $zyexe+=Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | where {$_.Extension -eq ".exe" -and ($_.FullName -like "*zylinc*" -or $_.FullName -like "*tomcat*" -or $_.FullName -like "*sqlservr*") } |select fullname
    write $zyexe
