No issues here with Sophos and Malwarebytes, AVG on my othr machine I had to set a protected folder for my audiogames so they wouldn't get deleted, but Sophos works fine for AG honestly, and Norton has a reputation for, frankly, being shitty.

How do I make a protected folder?

Microsoft security essentials has never bothered me about my games.

Yeah. It is very inaccessible, though, I have come to memorize some parts of the interface. When it runs scans, don't expect to be using your computer for the duration, but it has served me better than McAfee. When I got it, I'd heard better reports about it, and that such manufacturers as Honda were using the software. If I hear of something more secure, I'll probably pick it up. I need assistance from others to get some of the set up correct, and scans are a pain in the neck, but the worst part is always dealing with false flags.

Youch!

Mccaffee I wouldn't trust again following an episode when I was living in college, got a virus through the network, ---- a virus which actually didn't cause any major problems beyond occasionally closing a webpage I was looking at, however when the network decided to forceably install Mcaffee on all machines it managed to utterly crash my laptop so badly I needed it professionally repared since Mcaffee couldn't cope with Supernova starting at the same time it detected a virus.

Until I moved out of  COLLEGE and finally gave Mcaffee the heave hoE, I actually lived in terror of another virus not because of any problems the virus would cause, for fear of how Mccaffee might lock up my machine while trying to remove it .

In terms of audiogames, the only games Avg has regularly caused issues with have been the Bsc ones, those old klango games such as haunted factory and pirate memory game,  and Night of parasite. You used to be able to get around this with exception set for the program files but for some this stopped working in later versions, or at least later versions of Avg seemed to ignore the exceptions next time you did a full scan.

Then again, since every version of avg since 2014 or so has been getting increasingly inaccessibler (which is a completely cromulant word), when I got my new windows 10 machine I've now switched to windows defender and hasven't had any trouble thus far.

Yeah, McAfee seems to be popular for forcing onto systems for some reason. Every computer I remember getting had McAfee on it. I really don't want to run the risk of throwing myself onto the trust of Security essentials, though. I've heard that Defender isn't very good. You know what, we should assemble the most skilled members of this forum, and create a totally accessible anti-virus. LOL!!! That being said, I am using Avast on my laptop, but I haven't used it much for gaming. I might give it a go, though.
