Cross 3.3.x - Antivirus Recomendations (ESET NOD32)

[elationdjs]

Hi Guys,

I currently use Cross 3.3.x and something that people may or may not know is to add exclusions to your Antivirus, this will help Cross with access times. I use Eset's NOD32 as it is the lightest client I have ever found and have never had a Virus problem with it.

The main folders I exclude are (Under Windows 8.1 64bit)

C:\Users\John\Music\MixVibes\*.* - Collection Database
C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\MixVibes\*.* - Analysis Files
C:\Program Files\MixVibes\*.* - Covers 32 or 64 bit executables.
M:\* - External Music Store

For safety I scan the PC and Media store with all exclusions over ridden just to make sure nothing nasty has crept in.

Hope this is of help to someone out there.

Good info.
You haven't mentioned 'Collections' folder. Also recommended to exclude.

And of course disable sleep and powersaving options on OS, hdd and USB hubs.

Good Morning:

Would turning off the virus software have the same effect as the previous posts? I do this before I gig.

Thanks

I also turn off the wifi...

Turning of is better... Also Wifi off reduces resources.

But the advantage of using the settings is that it saver to do at anytime. Whereas temp turning on/off can be forgotten.

And when using Soundcloud you need internet connectivity.

Another challenging problem is the 'preventive skipping' of any scheduled task...(clean up, updates, defrag,...).
A good one is default setting for MS update: at party prime time=03:00.
