How to remove doscan.exe

[AMISH]

I am having a lot of problem with my computer. I am using Symantec antivirus software. But the doscan.exe process is consuming a lot of system resources and most of the time simply hangs my computer. I tried to remove it but it reappears everytime. How better can I remove doscan.exe from my computer?

The doscan.exe process belongs to Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition. It protects your computer and network from outbound threats. This program is important for your computer's normal operation and should not be terminated. It is 100% safe and don't worry about it. It must be consuming lot of resources because of his operations.

If you are still facing the problem then you can prevent the creation of the startup Quick Scan on new Symantec AntiVirus clients by importing a registry file. Follow the directions that apply to your situation.
