Disk space: 350MB (minimum), 400MB (optimum). Instead of making any tweaking in Antivirus policies, I was thinking if I can make Windows 10 think this 1TB External Drive as an Internal, all problems will be resolved, without much tweaking I seen with Antivirus I have to do, and I don't want to disturb policies for others in this process. Our online virus scanner will help you identify and remove malware. I don't want to disable any usb scan policy. And every time he starts windows, antivirus will starts full scan of 1TB External Hard Drive and makes pc slow. I received a complaint from an user, that his pc is very slow every morning and antivirus is running some scan every morning, I was sure, I don't have any startup scan by Antivirus, and I recalled the user is using 1TB External Hard Drive by always connected for work purpose.
