February 4, 20233 yr Hello: I currently use Webroot for Virus protection. Seems most "in the know" don't seem to care for it, so I am looking to change but want to make sure it doesn't cause any issues with MSFS. Suggestions? Thanks, Dave

I guess you also need to know how to use a computer 😉 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
February 4, 20233 yr I've been using AVG Free for years - no issue with sims. AVG has also noted with recent sim updates that FS is "registered" and will not be interfered with. I also do manual scans from time to time with Malwarebytes but I never let it run in the background. Edited February 4, 20233 yr by RandallR Randall Rocke
February 4, 20233 yr AVG was the biggest virus I ever had! 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
