Scan/fix viruses on drive M

[242513]

Using w2k Exchange Server. I have 2 viruses on the virtual M drive. NAV's fix instructions for these viruses say to stop mail services on exchange so that NAV doesn't try to scan the M drive. But if the viruses are on the M drive how can I remove them without scanning that drive? Battling viruses and growing weary....

Hi Dear, the M drive is a virtual drive, it doesn't really exist, don't scan and don't let NAV scan it any time, if you have scheduled scans make sure to exclude the M drive,
seems to me you are using the NAV on the exchange server for scanning files, but you need to use the NAV for exchange server, this one will scan the mailboxes and clean any infection without scanning the M drive.
it is NAV 2.5 for Exchange, I only use this, but you might want to use a file NAV just in case to scan other drives like C on the exchange.
hope this helped

You should also disable realtime filesystem scanning on your Exchange server unless you have the Exchange version of NAV.

Umm, scanning the M drive on an Exchange system isn't a good idea... you can get all sorts of problems
