July 14, 200718 yr Is anybody using Windows Live One Care and FSX. Does anyone know how to turn off the anti virus only and leave the firewall running. I think the anti-virus is slowing down FSX.Dave
July 14, 200718 yr Just right click on the green windows live care icon, after it opens go to change settings and select the anti-virus tab. Just remember to set it back when you exit FSX.Lee Lee H i9 13900KF 64GB Ram 24GB RTX 4090
July 15, 200718 yr I had Windows Live One Care on all of my machines and it ended up in the garbage, because it has been the worst security package that I have tried so far.Why? It slowed down my computer to an unbearable level. My HDD was constantly spinning for no reason at all and upon further investigation is was only the One Care service that used incredibly high amounts of CPU and RAM. Some games were even incompatible with One Care and would not install at all. I banned it from my all of my computers and the problems are history.I was previously quite content with One Care for XP, but One Care for Vista has been a nightmare for me.Pat
July 15, 200718 yr Not at all the case on my computer. I find it very low key and unobtrusive. You can schedule it manually as to when it does its maintenance so it stays out of your way. I prefer it over Norton which IS a computer hog.Lee Lee H i9 13900KF 64GB Ram 24GB RTX 4090
July 15, 200718 yr I got the tip from a friend to try Live OneCare which i am still using on a 90 day trail. I think i''ll purchase a license for three PCs because i have not the smallest problem with FSX and this prog. So far i see, it doesn't interfere with FSX at all. I get faster loading times compared to Avast and NOD32 (which i tested as well). The only thing what i have to complain is the Armageddon warning because i have the Windows update set to notify instead automatic... :-lol Heiko Cheers Heiko i920 D0 @ 4.2 Ghz water cooled | 200x21 | Gigabyte X58A-UD3R | G.Skill 6GB F3-16000CL9 @ 2000 MHz 9-9-9-24 1T (1.60v) | 2x Intel X25-M G2 160 GB SSD, 2x Raptor 150, 1x WD 2500 KS 16 MB S-ATA2 | Tagan 1100 | EVGA GTX 480 Hydro Copper FTW @ 865/1729/2000 -> 59 C | 24" Benq FP241 6ms LCD @ 1920x1200x32, 2 x 19" Samsung 970P 6ms LCD @ 1280x1024x32 | Sound - Xonar Essence ST, Fatality HS-1000 headset | Saitek X52 Pro | Win7 Ultimate 64 | SuperPi 1M - 9.6 sec
July 16, 200718 yr Author I have been using Live One Care for about a year. I did not install windows defender; I use Ad-Watch instead. Windows defender was a large drain on resources, but the Live Care firewall and antivirus seem fairly transparent. I have read several reviews that place it low in the "catch a virus category" ,but so far I have been bug free. Both FSX and FS9 operate as well as can be expected on my mid level machine. FSX poorly and FS9 brilliantly! :)Bob.. Bob Prince
