Anti Virus Software And Hoster

[ddouglass]

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.
