Disabling the Anti-Malware Periodic Scan
"Anti-Malware Scan Storms" can occur when several anti-virus scans run simultaneously on multiple virtual machines on the same physical server. In such situation, a degradation of system performance is possible, which can affect disk I/O and CPU usage. It is then recommended that you disable the Anti-Malware periodic scan.
Go to the Policy Page.
In the right pane, click the Web & Files Protection tab.
Scroll down and click the Advanced Settings button.
From the left tree, select Files Protection > Scan.
In the Perform Periodic Scan Every field, select Never.
