The error messsage is the same, many times a day: It says "AAVM scanning error: x_AavmCheckFileDirectEx: avfilesScanReal of....."
With the next part being the specific location where the scanning error occurred. The location is either a part of the SQL database on my server or a temporary internet file of one sort or another.
Perhaps not coincidentally, each day I have experienced one or more freeze-ups in two programs: 1) the project management program on my workstation tied to the SQL database on the server and 2) Internet Explorer.
Thus, I inferred that the slowdowns or freezeups may be tied to the scanning errors.
The scanning errors were much more common when I was using the shields at High setting, but now I have lowered it to "low" and have excluded the specific location on the server and also tried to exclude the temp internet files.
