I'm wondering why everyone is installing XYZ antivirus on their

It comes with windows defender already in action AFAIK.
Since XP I have tried a couple other AV programs, one of which was
bit defender, but
came back to Window Essentials until I got Win7, then with 8.1 on my
laptop, still
stick to the MS provided AV.
If you do some reading, you will probably come to the conclusion
that AV protection
is an illusion anyway. The AV software is ALWAYS a step behind the
latest threats,
so I just use what is already on the machine and try to practice
SAFE computing with
respect to emails and anything else that I would consider suspect
from getting inside
my network.
Mike,
That's so true!
I have NEVER used any AV on all my Sony Vaio and Lenovo Helix Notebooks/Tablet
PCs running MS Window 7 (64) Professional and MS Windows 8.1 (64) Professional.
Having said that ...
Client and server computers may have one or more anti-virus, anti-malware,
and/or anti-spyware utilities installed.
If R:BASE itself is scanned each time it is launched, and the contents of
the database and temporary files are halted and scanned each time they are
created/accessed, users will see much slower response times when running
R:BASE, making connections, and accessing the files.
When using any security-based software, it is important to add exceptions
to three areas of the R:BASE program:
R:BASE Program Executable
-------------------------
For R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32), the executable name is RBG95_32.exe.
The default folder where it is installed is "C:\RBTI\RBG95_32".
For R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64), the executable name is RBG95_64.exe.
The default folder where it is installed is "C:\RBTI\RBG95_64".
Database Files
--------------
For R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32), the database files are the four .RB1, .RB2,
.RB3, and .RB4 files.
For R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64), the database files are the four .RX1, .RX2,
.RX3, and .RX4 files.
For R:BASE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, the database files are the four .xxx, .xxx,
.xxx, and .xxx files. Oooooops:)
Although wildcard may be accepted, adding each file extension individually
as an exception may be more appropriate.
Temporary Scratch Files
-----------------------
When R:BASE is launched, it will create three .$$$ temporary files. After
performing certain actions, additional files may be created, and the
existing files will increase and decrease in size. Add the *.$$$ files as
an exception.
Very Best Regards,
Razzak.
