November 29, 20178 yr Moderator Everyone has their favorites for various reasons. I have stuck with ESET AV for years. It still has the smallest footprint and with gamer mode does not interfere at all with FSX or P3D. I use that, Malwarebytes for malware and a little gem called WinPatrol for simple real time monitoring. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

Not doing so will drop you PC performance even if it's set to exempt the game folder you choose. It depends on what AV program you have. I use. Webroot becuase it is very game friendly, carries a small digital footprint, and doesn't effect p[performance.

Malware bytes does not continually scan. You run it when you want to check your system for Malware, unless you have the payware Premium version, which I have never used. .

I've found it to provide effective protections. +1 Been happily using ESET NOD32 since it was first recommended by the late Michael Greenblatt. Over the years it has never let me down and, as far as I can tell, has little or no impact on performance. Mike

November 30, 20178 yr Stopped using AV years ago. once a month I run malwarebytes and use Cclean everyday. viruses in the last 5-6 years = none. But if you go to placers you perhaps should not then you better use one David Murden.
