  • 1.  Virus Definitions filling up hard drive

    Posted Sep 01, 2009 12:34 PM
    I have several clients that are using Symantec Endpoint that are having performance issues.  It turns out that they are low on hard disk space.  After checking the hard drive they typically have 75 to 80GB worth of virus definitions that are still on their computer.  Is there an option in Endpoint or a way to have these definitions delete after a new definition is available or delete after installing?

    Thank you for your help.

    You can also set a purging schedule for the updates.
