Configuring system utilization to match system use
Previous versions of VirusScan Enterprise used a proprietary thread priority process. VirusScan
Enterprise 8.8 uses the Windows Set Priority setting for the scan process and thread priority.

at any point in the scan process. The system utilization setting in the On-Demand Scan Properties
maps to the Windows Set Priority control.
