Does this security programme run ok with FSX?Should I turn off 'real-time rpotection' in Security essentials?Are there any other settings I should change?

Works fine for me with no changes to settings.Craig

I use it and usually shut it off completely. Just go to RUN>services.msc and shut it down. If you are uncomfortable with that than you can indeed shut off real-time protection. I also set up exceptions for simconnect and FSX.I've watched task manager and leaving it on, even with real-time protection off, it will use a bit of cpu every once in a while--not sure if it's noticeable in the sim.

i have had the same results as Craig, it's even caught some things my AV didn't see.Kyle

I have used it for some time, don't cut anything off and have noticed almost no impact on FSX. Found it to be a great program.BobDTW

I've used it since it came out, great app. Just exclude your FSX folder from the real time scanning engine via the options.

I also use it with success. The only time it bogs my system down is when it downloads and installs a new version or the new data files... (you'll see the blue arrow animation in the system tray)I'll have to look for that exclude option thanks!

Just in case you need any more opinions, it really is great. I don't ever turn it off, and I've seen no impact on FSX at all.
