Thx for the comment Paul. Using AVG Free as the Mcafee home product was very intensive & slow. I’m not that fussed about it updating I can force that to be manual I guess - it’s having it running in the background all the time that drags performance down I think
wonder what the Steinberg official line is? Manually transferring & uploading updates for everything on the DAW PC would be a hassle…
I would recommend switching from AVG to either Avira ( which is free & what I use ) or Avast ( not sure if Avast is free or not ).
I found AVG was getting to be a real dog with slowdowns & false alerts, and since I switched to Avira it’s so much better, quicker updates, and one click to disable it temporarily if needed.
Well in my case, I triple boot, and once my main DAW partition is setup, I rarely change it.
Seems like a lot of people here are now using the Internet with their DAWs so maybe it’s not such an issue like it used to be.
