Symantec AntiVirus Performance

Searched the forum, found nothing.

I have a user who has asked me if our corporate Symantec AntiVirus 10.x has a featured to "cache" already-scanned e-mail attachments in Outlook (We do not have MS Exchange and instead POP3 our e-mail from our host). His computer is very low powered and it's causing him grief.

From all of my dealings with SAV, I don't think this isn't possible. Each time they bring up the e-mail in Outlook, the desktop NAV scans the e-mail.

This brings up another question for those of you who do use SAV: How do you increase performance on your workstation PCs? I tend to:
  • Limit scanning to a list of certain file extensions (which seems to grow daily!)
  • No network scanning (We have the server scan itself)
  • Only scanning certain drives

Anything else I could do to A) cache already scanned e-mail attachments or B) Increase real-time scan performance in general?

Thanks.
