OK, what is the latest recommendation for best antivirus software that can be used on the Edius machine? I tried to keep the machine separate with just Edius, but I do need to install some other things, so I want the virus protection. Had major problem over the years with Norton, and was told Bitdefender blocks too many things, and in particular is not good for Edius. I don't care if free or for money... opinions?

Be aware that the next release of Windows 10 (19H1 aka Redstone 6) has changes that will break all AV software that doesn't get updated.
If you want to (or are forced to) upgrade to the new Windows 10 release, make sure your AV vendor is ready, or whatever software you are currently using will stop working.Comment

Avast free here also. No problems on multiple computers for over 5 years.Mark Williams

Unless your computer is not connected to any others (the Internet or a LAN), and never accesses storage devices that have been connected to other computers, that's very bad practice. Even air-gapped systems can and have been compromised.Originally posted by Seemedia View Post
Full disclosure: I work on antivirus software.Comment

Not really. I have access to the internet. I have the Malwarebytes and I check the system once per week (also online antivirus). Still without a issueOriginally posted by THoff View PostPawel Chyrowski

You are of course free to do as you wish. What I am telling you is that I don't know of any cybersecurity engineers who think your approach is sound.Comment

Of course, every doctor (I hope not everyone, after all) will tell you that antibiotics are good for everything. Cheers :)Pawel Chyrowski
