Decreasing the memory usage of OfficeScan client on a terminal server

Problem:
A terminal server hosts multiple user sessions at once and OfficeScan starts up the client GUI for each session.

Use this solution to modify the default settings so that the OfficeScan client GUI does not start up for every session, which in turn can help save system memory.

Please do the following:

1. Log on to the OfficeScan management console.
2. Go to Networked Computers > Client Management.
3. Select the OfficeScan client and then click to Settings > Privileges and Other Settings > Other Settings tab.
4. Under Client Console Access Restriction, select the Do not allow users to access the client console from the system tray or Windows Start menu check box.
5. Click Apply to All Clients.

By setting this restriction, your users will not be able to access the client console from the system tray or Windows Start menu. OfficeScan will run in the background and will continue to provide protection from security risks. This setting will also save you 6.5 to 7 MB of memory for each session in the terminal server.

If you use Ironport C160 as a spam filter in your office, you have to check Quarantine mail is there any needed mail stop by Ironport. To check quarantine mail you log in to Ironport as administrator user and then go to menu Monitor > Quarantine page.

On the Quarantine page you can find out the number of emails that go into quarantine. There are 4 types of quarantine they are quarantine spam, outbreaks, policy and viruses.

1. Spam quarantine is an incoming email from the internet because it includes categories of spam. Ironport analyze each incoming email, and categorize it as spam if they meet certain conditions.

2. Outbreaks. The virus outbreak Filters engine compares incoming messages with rules published Virus outbreak filters. Messages that match rules are assigned a threat level and That threat level is compared to the threat level threshold you set. That meet or exceed Messages That threshold are quarantined.

3. Policy. You can set its own policy for the incoming emails to be quarantined. For example, an email coming into your domain with a user name that is no longer working in your office.

There are plenty of software to download video files from YouTube of which I've tried is YouTube Downloader. You can download it for free at http://youtubedownload.altervista.org
Once you downloaded YouTube Downloader and install this software on your computer, run the YouTube Downloader applications.

  • In the text box "Enter the URL of the video You Want to download (e.g. http://youtube.com/watch?v=f5Jz8 ...)" fill in the URL link where the video will be downloaded.
  • By default the downloaded file will be saved in My Document. If you want to change click the Change button and browse to the new location that you want.
  • Click the Download button to start the download process.



    Wait until the progress bar is full and there is notice download completed.
    With this application you are also able to convert video files from one type of file to another video file type. Suppose you want to convert video file type MP4 to 3gp.

To convert a video file format you click on Convert or play a video you have already downloaded option. In the text box select the video type the name of the file to be converted. Later in the combox Convert Video To: choose a new video file types that you want. Click the Convert button to start the process of convert file.
