What is the proper and complete way to exclude a Time Capsule from being scanned with Norton Antivirus on a Leopard based Mac?

hi--

 

I wanted to correct my post.  There were two issues with Time Capsule (because, frankly, Time Capsule came out after Norton AntiVirus 11 for Mac):

 

1 - Auto-Protect was scanning it.  We fixed this with a recent defs date.

2 - Mountscan was scanning it. We are going to a product update for this, not date yet, but we have a workaround until that update comes out:

 - Open Norton AntiVirus 11 for Mac

- Select Automatic Protection - Auto-Protect Configuration: Auto Disk Scan

You can either turn it Off or you can

- Check "These Kinds of Disks"  and then check:

 - Music

 - iPods

- Data disks

 

but NOT "all other disks" 

 

Then Time Capsule will not be scanned. But neither will USB drives.

 

The fix is going to require a product update, we're putting it on the schedule and we'll let you know when it is available.

 

thanks,

hi --

We now do this automatically with the definitions update we released a few weeks ago. We no longer interact with Time Capsule.  Make sure you update your defs and then you should be fine.  If this is not the case, please email me at mike_romo@symantec.com.

 

thanks!
