Anti Virus Software And Hoster
Since i don't use my laptop online, is it advisable to remove my McAfee Security Suite 3 software? Does anti virus software ever interfere with hoster? i mean, why scan my laptop? And i don't update???

With AVG, you can just disable, but can't seem to disable mcafee anywhere.

I'm looking for a small AC powered converter box as well. I have S Video on my laptop. But i need to run into a RF Converter to go RG6 in some of the clubs. Mine is getting old. Any suggestions? George

What about if you want to upgrade any MTU software, you have to be on line. I just turn mine of while doing a show so there is nothing running in the back ground. Providing it is not running it will not use any resources.

I think that even in the background those little questions can pop up and make some audio beeps once in a while, can't they.

I use SpyWare Doctor, you can completely disable it without uninstalling it. don't get any pop ups then.

I know it has been reported that a few people have had problems with AVG and Hoster, but mostly on under powered or too little memory machines.
I use Symantec and have never had it interfere with Hoster. I don't schedule any scans and don't allow any automatic scans on my computers. Symantec does use a real-time scan that checks any new files added to the computer. I get one reminder message that I can tell to not pop-up until next update, but this only tells me when my definitions are over 30 days old. I have never used McAfee so not sure how theirs functions. I would check all the options and see if there is some way to cut down on all the update questions. Beavis I too would never recommend running without an Anti-virus program available and as up to date as possible. Consider this, someone brings in a burned copy of their own CD and their computer has a virus. Your computer if not equipped with an anti-virus program and you just got infected. It doesn't pay to play unprotected. You have been very lucky..... so far. All of my computers go on line for updates at least once a month and I have never had any problems with running shows.
