Any suggestions on handling the delay produced by the McAfee scan on rt.jar.

It happens every time I launch Meister and then Meister takes about 4 or 5 minutes to launch. It shows up in my event log as I've shown below.

The scan of C:PROGRAM FILESJAVAJRE1.6.0_03LIBRT.JAR has taken too long to complete and is being canceled. Scan engine version used is 5200.2160 DAT version 5204.0000.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Try excluding the JRE directory from McAfee's scanning. In general, Go to the VirusScan Console.

Right-C_link_ on "On-Access Scan" and choose "Properties"

Choose "All Processees"
Choose "Detection"
Choose "Exclusions"

Clicki on "Add"
Browse to the folder you want excluded.

Check the box "also exclude subfolders"

Change other settings as needed.
