AstroSkipper Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) 21 hours ago, Tangy said: @AstroSkipper I did read your considerations regarding WVstopx with great interest and I'll have to admit I am in a quandary. I am seriously thinking to migrating to WVstop. It seems to be an excellent find. Thank you. For personal research purposes you may also refer to this thread. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/wisevector-stop-x.431502/ Cheers You're welcome! BTW, I already knew this thread. Unfortunately, there is no official forum, only this rather unofficial thread. As I wrote in my article, I do not regret the change. But you have to set many exclusions, because WiseVector StopX examines some programs very intensively, which leads to disturbances. Today, for example, I wanted to play some music videos in VLC, but unfortunately only with stuttering sound. I tried everything. I upgraded, downgraded and finally even completely reinstalled VLC. Nothing helped! Until I realised that WiseVector StopX was the culprit. I quickly made two exclusions and everything was ok again.

legacyfan Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) ive been using avast because my family pays for the premium version every year and it would be a waste of money to not use it (so I'm stuck with it until the payments stop) Edited January 10 by legacyfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use antiviruses nowadays anyways, I just use common sense when browsing the Internet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you disable WD? Can is be completely removed from Win11? I don't use "real-time" but do use "on-demand" scans but they never come up with anything because I don't ever visit strange sites anymore.

No, but all my past attempts in disabling it permanently were in failure, because it turns on back everytime I tried to turn it off. 1 hour ago, XPerceniol said: Can is be completely removed from Win11? Removed? No. But, disabled? Yes. A Google search like "windows defender disable windows 11" gave a lot of results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I renew the Premier version every year and it comes nicely 'cause I can use it on all my devices, including my Android phone and it has a VPN which I also use on a daily basis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranceBB Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 ehehehe I never really left, I was mostly lurking around, but I didn't have much time to reply. It's been a bit of a tough period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avast Free 18.8 was the last thing I used on Vista, but I wasn’t really crazy about it. I wonder how much longer definitions will be provided for the legacy version. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what OS you are currently using (your profile shows Windows 10), but if you have been able to use Avast on Vista with the extended kernel, then please post details about that in the appropriate thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
