my hard drive has almost filled up overnight

MJonline

I read some of the posts on the previous F secure forum website about this problem but am getting stuck.

 

I went to try to use the fsaua-reset.exe and a small screen popped up with the message:

 

Are you sure you want to reset Automatic Update Agent and Server? (Y/N)

 

What do I do here (I hit the 'Y' key and nothing happens)

 

Any posts on here that can help.

Maybe you should first find out with WHAT your HDD got filled up by before running some cleaning software.

 

Then what version are you using?

 

And are you running fsaua-rest with Admin Righs?

I ran WinDirStat which reported of an 80GB HD,

 

56.9% was filled with Program Files

 

of which

 

64.5% was F-Secure

 

of which

 

94.9% was FSAUA.PM

 

of which

 

99.9% was data

 

of which

 

100% was db

 

of which

 

61.5% was 4320652

 

and 15.5% was 4320651

 

there are also in the db folder other about 10 other folder of similar title (eg 4320595) containing files sizes from 116MB to 778MB

 

What are these db files?

Hi,

 

Are you sure about the folder name? Policy Manager (PM) has a folder FSAUS.PM hosting the "F-Secure Automatic Update Server" but FSAUA.PM does not ring a bell...

Meaning the workstation has Policy Manager installed. To answer your question, the folders with numbers in their names contain different databases as downloaded by PM and provided to connecting hosts running our products like Client Security.

 

F-Secure folder now uses about 29 Gb which is not to be expected.

Should you be running Policy Manager on the system?

Hi MJonline,

You may find more details about FSAUA-RESET tool from our KB article:
http://www.f-secure.com/en_US/support/knowledgebase/article-details.html?id=1334

However the Anti-Virus for Windows Server is not supported on Windows XP, it is for Windows Server operating system only.

I would suggest you to send an e-mail to our support: ****@f-secure.com for further investigation. Kindly attach a FSDIAG together with your e-mail, you may include this post in your e-mail as well.

This is not possible!

 

on an XP you do not have AV for Servers and with AV for Servers you do not have FSAUS.PM.

 

So I expect that you have a Windows Server with F-Secure Policy Manager and F-Secure Anti-Virus installed

Please post a screenshot from "software" to confirm.

 

If you have Policy Manager installed, which version?

If Version 9 then install the Hotfix or even better upgrade to PM10!

 

Finally a value of 7 to 15GB just for the db-folder is normal. currently the largest folders I have is at 385 MB (...\db\yyyyyyy\xx) but the numbers are constanly raising and I expect the value to reach 500 MB by end of 2011.

 

The total size depends on the number of updates F-Secure sent out in the last 7 days!

 

What exact size is your db folder?

Does it still increase?
