Antivirus guidelines for CS Professional Suite applications
We recommend you keep your antivirus application up to date because CS Professional Suite applications contain sensitive information. Consult with a qualified IT professional to select, implement, and set up antivirus application for your firm.
important
We don't recommend temporarily disabling your antivirus application as an alternative to setting the following exceptions. Many antivirus applications keep running after you disable it.
Exclude specific folders from scanning
Some antivirus applications let you create exclusions or exceptions from scanning for specific folder locations. We recommend that you exclude the following folders from real-time scanning on all workstations that run the applications listed. Continue to include these folders in scheduled, off-hours scanning.

Your IT professional should complete this setup.
All applications
X:\WinCSI (where X is the drive hosting the WinCSI folder)
You can create multiple data and archive locations that could be outside of the default X:\WinCSI folder. We recommend that you exclude these folders from scanning.
Some antivirus applications don't let you exclude entire folders, but you can exclude specific files. Continue to include these files in scheduled, off-hours scanning.

Configuration tips
Thomson Reuters doesn't endorse a specific vendor or application for antivirus protection. Contact your software vendor for more help with configuration.
Make sure that your environment and operating system meet the requirements for your antivirus application.
Schedule automatic scans during off-business hours.
Don't let workstations do real-time scans on server drives. Let the server scan its own drives to reduce network delays and minimize interference with traffic.
You might need to exclude any antispyware and antimalware applications from scanning.
