Based on my results I can infer the extension has no effect on the transfer speed. All LAN traffic is monitored although the NAS was added to the "Trusted" device list in NIS2010. 


Your results are correct, it won't make any difference at all as it isn't about the file that is being transferred, as all network traffic is inspected.

I have just 22 days of subscription remaining. It will NOT be renewed unless Norton fix this issue!

One customer and 5 computers will use something else than this slooow network performer...

Re: '**Bug** IPS device driver causes network slowdown

We are able to reproduce it and we are actively working on this issue. This is non-trivial to fix and I will update this thread when we have something concrete to share.

Re: '**Bug** IPS device driver causes network slowdown

Has this been fixed yet? I haven't received the latest NAV update yet, so was curious if this has been fixed yet?

Re: '**Bug** IPS device driver causes network slowdown

To a large extent this will get addressed in Norton 2011. But we are trying to improve performance of the IPS engine routinly. I will post here whenever I have something solid to share.

Re: '**Bug** IPS device driver causes network slowdown

I'm also suffering from this problem with only 18 days of subscription remaining.  What is the recommended workaround until a proper fix is available?  I've seen mention of disabling Intrusion Prevention, or disabling the dll using sc.exe, but nothing definitive.

 

Also is there a bug tracking number we can reference when calling for support?
