Stig Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I need to install an antivirus software on my new VIVE ready PCI. Could you please advise one that is compatible, efficient and won't hamper my VR activities ? I read on the web that AVAST did "brick" the HTC VIVE firmware updates. This is very alarming so I really need some help before installing anything. thanks in advance
kerminater Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 All AV software restrict things they don't know so they are all basically the same. go with the one you feel did a good job before VR. which prolly means avast :)
Stig Posted October 22, 2016 Author Posted October 22, 2016 Are you using an antivirus program on your VIVE computer without problems (either when the firmwares need updating or when running games without lagging) ? Considering antivirus software may slow down the VIVE experiences, I'm currently considering setting up a firewall on another machine, white listing anything pertaining to VIVE or Steam. I'll let you know what we end up with :-) Thanks for your answer nevertheless, I hope more people share their feedback so I take a decision in the best direction.
