AV Protection for LaunchBox connected PC

[InfinityFox]

I looked at doing a Hyperspin setup many moons ago but found it to time consuming and tricky. I'm glad that I came across LaunchBox and look forward to getting my teeth into it over the coming months. One thing that was an area of concern when I attempted to setup Hyperspin was the suggestion by some people that anti virus software should be disabled for Hyperspin because Hyperspin and many emulators and files associated with them will be deleted or quarantined during scans. I will have my LaunchBox installation on my main gaming PC which will be connected to the Internet regularly. So for those of you who have systems up and running, what is your advice regarding protection and what setup works best for you?

I only use the built in Windows Defender software and I've not had any problems. Most anti-virus software adds way to much background processes for me.

That is because of the way HyperSpin interacts with external scripts to perform functions. Don't think it would be an issue with LB

Yes, the built-in Windows Defender software is highly recommended, largely because it's the most accurate and rarely comes up with false positives.
