BI PC Anti Virus

[PSPCommOp]

My PC is just for recording, with the occasional browsing to IPCamTalk while I'm adjusting/tinkering with some settings. Wondering what everyone uses for antivirus on their PC's, if anything.

You will be fine with the built in av...or if you wish I use norton on some machines...make sure you exclude BI from the AV.

I massively rate Avast Free. Switched from AVG a while back and haven't looked back since.

Any particular reason why? Just curious. I've heard of AVG but not Avast.

Less resource usage, better interface. I had an issue with AVG missing a virus which I know they all can do but that swung it for me.

Full scan is slow... oh well, I don't normally sit there and wait for that, I schedule it for lunch. Generally comes top or 2nd for free AV.

Nice i'll look into it, thanks!

If I use Remote Access in Windows 10, would the AV affect anything with that?
