Re: NIS 2008 Windows File Scan - What is it?
Just a feature that intermitently scans a set of files [usually I find when using Outlook with unique attachments]

NOTE: I have shown the logs to Symantec since first noticing 2 years ago and have been advised that it's nothing more than a record of routine advanced scanning written into the program.
IM me if you want more details.

Guys over at the norton board are saying it's part of office scan.

There were new entries for Windows File Scan in the log. So that appears to be it. Mystery solved. |

I first reported this to my Symantec contacts long ago and can tell you that it's normal activity.
I began researching this with Symantec way back in 2005 - see: »[Word] 2003 Version info need
