mcafee Endpoint Security Threat Prevention On-Access Scan stops file copy from the network

[Former Member]

Dear guys,

Actually after several turnings on and off I found that Threat Prevention On-Access Scan stops file copy from the network. We have got a network software which wants to copy a file of 200 megabytes to every client but it stops after 30% progress. When I disable On-Access scan the file copy process finishes successfully. I would be appreciated if you kindly let me hear your ideas?

Hi @Former Member 

What file type is being copied?

Do you have scan network files enabled with your OAS policy? If yes, you may want to disable this.

Hi @Former Member,

Thank you for your post! Adding to what @Former Member  has advised, Stopping scans midway is a strange behavior. Is it one file or a bunch of files you are dealing with?

May I know what Network software is being used?

Also, can you please let us know if you have any detections in your OnAccessScanActivity log?
