Multiple copies of FSCRealTimeScanner.exe running in SharePoint server

We just noticed the we have 4 copies of FSCRealtimeScanner.exe running all at the same time in all our front end SharePoint (2010) Server and each process is grabbing 350MB of RAM.  with the extra copies running - we're loosing 1.2GB of RAM.

Any reason why always 4 copies of FSCRealtimeScanner.exe are running

Hi,

"To enhance performance, Forefront Security for Exchange Server allows additional processes to be created for the Realtime Scan Job. If the first process is busy scanning a file, the second process will begin to scan, and so on. By default there are four Realtime Scan Jobs running. This can be increased up to ten by changing the Realtime Process Count field found under General Options > Scanning."

Here are some recommendations to reduce the consumption of memory:

- on a server which doesnt perform the mailbox role we can disable the Realtime scanjob
- on the Maibox servers disable Transport/Internet scanjob
- Exchange 2007/Forefront introduce the AVstamp aimed to avoid duplicated scan processes at the Store server
(

- reduce the number of transport process count to 2

Best Regards,
