Tips When Running Virus or Security Software in Your Firm

Firms that encounter out of the ordinary technical issues with ESILAW are more often than not victims of their virus or security software applications. To help address this, we've listed a few things you can do to ensure ESILAW runs smoothly in your firm.

• Exclude ESILAW from any real-time scanning. Real-time scanning can corrupt data files and interfere with general day-to-day operation.
• Ensure ESILAW is set up as a trusted application in your security software.
• Run scheduled virus scans after hours.

For more information on how to configure your virus or security software so it does not interfere with your business applications contact your IT or network support company.
