Out of the box, NIS 2006 slows down Cygwin/X. I open XWin.exe to run a bash
shell. When I type at the command prompt:
ls -h | sort -r
The command prompt freezes on my Windows box for awhile. That is no longer
the case with the following tweaks to NIS2006:
1. Right click on the Norton Internet Security Tray icon. Select 'Open
Norton Internet Security'.
2. Using the drop down arrow on the Options button, select 'Norton Anti-
Virus'.
3. In the upper left hand corner, click on 'Auto-Protect'.
4. Click on 'Exclusions'.
5. Click the 'New' button. Type 'C:\cygwin' and check 'Include subfolders'.
Click 'OK'.
6. Under the 'Auto-Protect' menu, click on 'Bloodhound'. Uncheck 'Turn
Bloodhound heuristics on'. Click 'OK' and you're done!
This has made a significant difference in the speed of the bash shell for
me.
HTH someone.
