Essentially a virus created by Symantec. Uninstalling, as I'd RATHER have a virus than this POS virus scanning software, brings system to a crawl, and is difficult to kill without uninstallation.

Its a Real time symantec virus scanning. If you disable it, some or other vulnerability will exploit your system.

I am also facing such memory hog problems by this file from 18 months. If a virus & anti virus both slow down your PC then why we put extra load on HDD for an anti virus? So we all should request symentec to fix this problem untill we leave them.

Symantec AntiVirus mit seinem Rtvscan.exe frisst zuviel. Besser deinstallieren und einen anderen Virenscanner benutzen.
