KB ID:?000030, Added:?4-04-2004, Last updated:?2-10-2006

Applies To:

Outpost 2.6
Outpost 2.7
Outpost 3.0
Outpost 3.5
Outpost 3.51
Outpost 4.0

A possible reason for this is that Outpost Firewall frequently accesses its log files and the antivirus monitor checks each accessed file for viruses. This collision can lead to system slowdowns. To resolve this issue, add the Outpost Firewall installation folder to antivirus exclusions. For different antivirus software, complete the steps outline below.
