Solve : I have high-speed internet. When is it safe to turn off Anti-virus?? |
|
Answer» Since my connection is always OPEN, even though my browser is not, when can I turn off my anti-virus to do scans etc? Will I have to disconnect the cable from my modem first?That would be the recommended way to do it...an unprotected machine doesn't take long to be infected. That would be the recommended way to do it...an unprotected machine doesn't take long to be infected. I have a firewall--and my modem has no switch, just a power cord.I don't GET it... why do you want to turn off your anti-virus?Quote from: Deerpark on March 10, 2008, 10:03:03 AM I don't get it... why do you want to turn off your anti-virus? There's an open source program called Ultradefrag http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/ that says the AV must be turned off prior to running the program. You can run it at boot up, apparently before the AV LOADS, or you can run it manually. I was going to run it manually just to test it and see if it works any BETTER than the standard Windows XP defrag, but I need to upgrade netframe or WHATEVER it is.Disconnect modem from power source.It says to deactivate the AV for better performance, not that it won't work. I use Ultra Defrag with AV on with no problems. .Net Framework Downloads Quote from: evilfantasy on March 10, 2008, 06:01:38 PM It says to deactivate the AV for better performance, not that it won't work. I use Ultra Defrag with AV on with no problems. Thanks, that's good to know Evil. Are you pleased with the program itself?I started using it a few weeks back, switched from JK Defrag, and have only used it a few times and think I will keep it for a while. I haven't had a chance to completely explore it yet but like what I see so far. The different options are very useful. |
