Anyone using AVG Antivirus and FSX on the same machine?

Recommended Posts

Guest mplyons

Just checking to see if anyone else is having issues with FSX running along side AVG Antivirus - it appeared that FSX over-wrote at least one critical DLL file used by AVG Antivirus.MikeAMD FX55, 2GB RAM, 160 GB SATA, 6800 Ultra, X-Fi

On my system, FSX and Avg co-exist on the same partition and I've had no problems.My only complaint with Avg is that sometimes it auto-updates while I'm in the middle of a flight and in the process interrupts the flight to tell me that it is updating. That's an annoyance.-Rick----------- My System -----------P4 @ 2.53 GHz / 1GB RAM / NVIDIA GeForce 6800XT, 256MB / Windows XP Home

Well,I no longer use AVG free on my PC, I am now a NOD32 fan!Anyway, I used for quite a loooong time and never had any problems because, before starting FS, I allways kill the 3 AVG processes that remain in memory, including the one that starts auto-updates and another one that schedules disk scans sometimes and really slows down the system.There was yet another piece of software that I really had to give up using - SpySweeper. I have posted this info at the FSUIPC forum as per suggestion of Pete Dowson. Somethings that has to do with the new FSCONNECT framework. NOD32 is both anti-virus and anti-spam, as well as anti-malware, and at least it doesn't cause any stutters in FSX.

Yes that can be annoying. I use both not seperated and works fine other than what you said about interupting.
