  Get rid of AVG Windows Scanner

  Posted by Rob Darren on March 8, 2016 at 6:42 pm

  Get rid of AVG Windows Scanner…
  Ready to render my 80 min movie and every time I watched the movie the AVG Windows Scanner begins and then ends a few mins later. My preview window doesn’t always match up. Can/Should I get rid of the message. In other words I want to render my movie without pop-up type distractions?
  Thanks
  Rob

  Use integrated Windows Defender, and then run Malware-bytes about once a month. If you stay off dirt bag site you should not have a problem. Windows Defender has really low overhead compared to other AV software.

  I use to use AVG at one time but I removed it. It’s just too invasive. Use Windows Defender and Malware-bytes.

  If you don’t use the computer on-line there is no reason to have an intrusive virus scanner that runs all of the time. Like I said, I’ve removed all of them and just use the built-in Windows Defender.
