Anti-virus Software Interfering with LR3

Just figured I'd post a note concerning at least one LR3 issue of mine being caused by seemingly harmless software running alongside.
I had been having issues with LR3 when deleting photographs, issues that arose as early as LR3 beta 1. Sometimes LR3 would randomly hang up, taking up to a minute to delete only 4 or 5 photographs. Occassionally, it would freeze up and I'd be forced to go into the Task Manager, kill the lightroom.exe process, and restart the application. My posts about this on the LR3 beta forums yielded no leads.
Today I started having the problem again with LR3. While waiting for it to finish deleting, I noticed that the system tray icon for Avast! Antivirus was spinning around (indicating it was 'working'). Out of curiosity I decided to disable Avast! and, all of the sudden, the problem was solved. Now LR3 just deletes photographs instantly without a single hiccup. Here I had thought LR3 had this very annoying bug, when it was an incidental lack of compatability with my anti-virus software all along. Well, I suppose it can still be called a bug... but at least it is a bug that can be remedied without waiting for an LR3 update.
I don't know if this can help others, but try to disable your anti-virus software in temporary tests to see if performance of LR3 improves. Antivirus didn't affect LR3s overall performance in my case, but given my discovery it is reasonable to think that other anti-virus softwares could potentially be bogging down LR3 on others machines in different ways.

I would accept that if not for the fact that lightroom 2 worked perfectly
in the same setup and catalog.
I'm going to try selectivly disabling the virus checker on some directories until i find the correct one.
Best Wishes,

Anti-virus software on Windows XP pro sp3 with Virtual PC

Hi,
I'm running Virtual PC 7.0.3 with Windows XP pro Sp3 on eMac. Has anyone found the need to run a anti-virus software etc as part of the Windows system? Or will the firewall on the broadband router modem be sufficient protection?
Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
Any recommendations on AV software?
I tried installing a free version of AVG AV but the install would not complete, I ended the process after 1.5 hours.

When I down loaded the new upate a message said that the upgrade was not compatible with my anti-virus software so they disabled it. This is unacceptable.

I got a message to up grade Firefox so I did. At a certain time in the process a message came up and said that you have some add ons that aren't compatible with this software so they will be disabled. At this time I tried to stop the up grade because I don't like things just being disabled, but it would not allow me to do so. As I continued to the next screen it told me that the software that was disabled was my anti-virus software. I run a business on my computer and am not happy that the protection of my computer and its contents is at risk.

Firefox 4 is itself no longer supported and is not secure so the choice is between firefox 5 and firefox 3.6.
Firefox 5 currently [/questions/839953#answer-205178 has problems] with the McAfee site advisor, but the McAfee AV still works ok with it; is that the AV you are using or is it something else ?

Please would you stop bundling Anti-Virus software with Adobe Reader?

I would be really grateful if Adobe would stop bundling Anti-Virus software with the Adobe Reader updates. Pre-selecting the (download - Anti virus software) check-box in the dialogue box smacks of sharp practice. I have nothing against Anti-Virus software, but I want to take control of the process, not have Adobe make important choices for me: it really is very unprofessional.

This is a user forum; you have to put your request to Adobe.
Having said that, you can avoid bundled software by downloading the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Updates/patches are best downloaded by navigating the FTP site ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/

What is the best anti virus software to use with OS X 10.8?

What is the best anti virus software to use with OS X 10.8? Norton is slowing my iMac down and I'm constantly being bombarded by blocking messages for programs I don't recognize.
Thanks

Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

I downloaded 4.0, but it disabled my Kaspersky Anti-Virus software. How can I enable Kaspersky with Firefox 4.0?

Mozilla Firefox 5 has disabled my Kaspersky. Why?

Should I protect my iMac with anti virus software and if yes what do you recommend thanks

should i prtect i mac with anti virus software?

If desired, use ClamXav. Any Mac OS X antivirus software which people actually charge for, as opposed to free downloads, should be avoided.

Help with Anti Virus Software

Hello, "Kapeisky" Anti Virus Software comes free with "Parallels" Desktop 4. Is it worth installing this, or would it be better to install "AVG" free version?.
Thought it best to check with you guys, just in case it would slow things down, or cause other problems.
Many thanks for your help.

Whatever you trust and feel works. I don't think you go far wrong, and whether you want to use a full integrated suite with firewall and other features.

ITunes installation probs with anti-virus software?

After installing iTunes 5.0.1, my iTunes either will not run or it crashes. Also, my iPod now no longer works. It shows nothing but a folder and exclamation point, and iPod Updater does not recognize the iPod and therefore will not allow me to restore it to factory settings.
Are these problems related to the incompatibility of the iTunes installer with anti-virus software? If so, can anyone suggest a fix for someone using Norton 2005 Internet Security? I tried to use the following 3-step program for addressing this problem at
Lisa Bissell, "ITunes won't work" #4, 09:12pm Sep 28, 2005 CDT
1. Open Norton 2005 Internet Security, click on Personal Firewall, click Configure button, click Programs tab.
2. Uncheck the Turn on Automatic Program Control box. In the Program window find itunes and change the Automatic setting to Permit All.
3. Close Norton and restart Windows. itunes should work correctly after that.
However, my iTunes is not found on Nortons Program window. When I click on Add and then click on iTunes, the Norton program crashes. Suggestions?
By the way, I am on week 2 of trying to untangle all of the problems created by the iTunes 5.0.1 installation. I have already implemented the suggestions on the following four sites without success.

Any help getting my iTunes and iPod back in operation would be much appreciated.

Ok, b, I'm now on week 3 of trying to get my iTunes and iPod back and wonder if I am any closer to resolution.
I have tried all three of the sets of recommendations in the links you provided without success. Specifically:
I've once again reinstalled iTunes (I now have version 6) and deleted all of the suggested Temp files etc.
I've put my iPod into disk mode and tried to restore it. iPod updater still does not recognize my iPod. Nor does iTunes or Windows (My Computer). In contrast, Windows recognizes my son's iPod mini, but iTunes does not.
I have run the System Config utility and selected iTunes Helper as the only the startup and iPod Service as the only service. When I restarted my computer, I had no better luck with my iTunes or iPod Updater. In fact, things got worse since I could no longer connect with the internet. So I went back to the old startup method and full range of services.
I tried to go into Disk Management to change the letter of the network drive, but either Disk Mgmt wouldn't open or, when it did, I didn't see my iPod listed.
I am also still having occasional difficulties launching iTunes, and having some difficulties using a hard reset to get my iPod off of its "Do Not Disconnect" message. (To accomplish the latter, I often am forced to try 3 or 4 times holding the Select and Menu buttons for 10 plus seconds at a time.) My iPod does nothing more than rotate between Do Not Disconnect and the sad icon.
I would consider replacing my iPod, except that it is apparent that my problems are being generated by iTunes, considering that my son's iPod is also having problems when I attempt to synch it to iTunes, and it otherwise works fine.
If you could help me get out of this mess, I would be eternally grateful.

Mac OS X is a smaller market, and, so far, and for whatever reason, a smaller target. Consequently, although major A/V vendors do usually have a Mac division, it seems to me that they employ for it the B-team. As a result, some Mac A/V tools create more problems than they solve.
Furthermore, as WZZZ rightly points out, all A/V tools (irrespective of platfom) fight yesterday's problem. They can only protect you against the threats they've already seen and analysed.
So, the question is: Do you need an A/V tool?
The people who say, "No, because there are no Mac viruses" are technically right, but in a very narrow sense. There are no Mac viruses—but there is Mac malware. MacDefender and iWork Services are examples; the recent Flashback infection—there've been threads dealing with it in this very forum for the past month—is another. So it really depends on what you do. The iWork Services Trojan Horse spread through a hacked download of Apple's iWork suite, distributed primarily through P2P file sharing. If you do that kind of stuff, you are at risk. Flashback spread through a Java vulnerability. If you browse the net with Java enabled, you are at risk.
Then there's the issue of exchanging files with Windows. If you work in a mixed Win/Mac environment, or exchange documents with others who use Windows, you may be the unwitting vector of infection, by transmitting Windows malware from one PC-using correspondent to another. The Win malware would not affect you in any way—but it would certainly affect them.
Therefore, the answer depends primarily on you.

Cisco Jabber for Windows - Anti-Virus Software

Hello,
Cisco Jabber for Windows could not resolve outlook contacts, when a client has installed McAffee Anti-Virus Software.
Is there any documentation available, how to setup a Anti-Virus Software, to get Cisco Jabber for Windows running?
Cisco Jabber for Windows Version 9.2.4 Build 4528
Outlook 2013
Thanks
Alex

this is all what we mention about antivirus; http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/jabber/Windows/9_2/JABW_BK_J6915A59_00_jabber-windows-server-setup/JABW_BK_J6915A59_00_jabber-windows-server-setup_chapter_00.html
Some antivirus or firewall applications, such as Symantec EndPoint Protection, block inbound CDP packets, which disables desk phone video capabilities. You should configure your antivirus or firewall application to allow inbound CDP packets. See the following Symantec technical document for additional details about this issue: Cisco IP Phone version 7970 and Cisco Unified Video Advantage is Blocked by Network Threat Protection.
with that being said; we probably would like to get the jabber process excluded from the antivirus list so that it allows for inbound MAPI communication as that is what is used for quering for the outlook contact.
The only process that ever runs from Jabber for windows is "CiscoJabber.exe" which is located in the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber
i hope this helps.

I have what appears to be a virus on my Mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ how can I remove it? I have only discovered after running SOPHOS anti virus software???

I have what appears to be a virus on my mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ I only discovered it after installing SOPHOS anti virus software.
I cannot remove it automatically with this software it says it has to be done manually.
Where do I start???
Help req'd urgently

That is Windows malware, and cannot affect your Mac. See:
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Ma l~FakeAV-OQ.aspx
It may be attached to an e-mail message or could be something that was copied over from a Windows machine via flash drive or something similar. If it is attached to an e-mail message, simply delete the e-mail. (Do not let Sophos, or any other anti-virus software, quarantine the message or attachment! That can corrupt the mailbox that the message resides in.) If it isn't an e-mail message, you can let Sophos quarantine and delete the file or you can delete it yourself.

Once and for all: Do I need anti-virus software for my Mac?

I've always heard that you don't really need anti-virus or anti-spyware software for Macs - but I do wonder that there has to be viruses about that would affect Macs?
I do alot of creative and professional work on my Mac. The data on it, means a **** of a lot to me, and I'd hate for my Mac to be infected with something horrible.
Could anybody please tell me if I really do need anti-virus or anti-spyware software for my iMac? And if I do, which one do you recommend? (Ideally I would want it to be cheap and not hog lots of system resources)...
Thank you!

Hi
I can only give you my personal experience on this one.
The short answer is "no". I've been using macs for the past 4 years, my partner for many more. Neither I nor she have an anti virus program installed.
We both use firewall on both the os x setup and via our router. I tend to install the security updates posted by apple after they are released and check the forums to be aware of any potential problems.
A much better idea is to back up your important projects etc on a regular basis to dvd and external hard disk.
I have one experience of anti-virus software on the mac:
About 2.5 years ago i thought i had a virus - my diskspace was being eaten up at a very very fast rate - and i was worried. Found out that the os update from 10.3.2 to 10.3.5 had an incompatability issue with the mcafee shock game controller driver (obscure eh!)
Anyway, after this experience and deleting the driver which i no longer needed, i decided to err on the side of caution and tried out both mcafee and norton. Both of which slowed down my system and norton especially caused problems when i was running logic pro etc. really really annoying.
Once i'd got over my "insecure" stage and having spoken to other mac users i realised anti-virus software was causing many many more issues than resolving any - and besides since then i have still had no problems and have never come across any viruses on mac os x.
It all depends on what makes you feel safer. Personally i wouldn't recommend ant-virus programs... i wonder if anyone has any positive experiences of anti-virus software on the mac?
that's my 0.02 pence

Anti Virus Software....Do I need It On My MacBook Pro??

I was given the impression I didn't need anti virus software for my 1yo MacBook Pro?? am I correct or stupid? Please Help.....

Thanks.
I have been using Macs with OS X since the day OS X was launched on March 24, 2001. (BTW, an experience I will never ever ever repeat, despite the overall clunkiness of OS9.) I have never downloaded, purchased, used, tested, or thought about using an anti-virus software. I still don't. In all that time, I have never experienced malware, trojan horses, and/or viruses. Whenever I read about these trojan horses or malware, it almost always requires user acquiesence, rarely superior coding of the malware.
Look, don't allow anything to have root access to your computer by keeping it secure by password, and only enter the password when you're sure of what's requiring it. Don't download anything that you don't trust. In other words, download Adobe Photoshop from Adobe's website, not from some random website in the Ukraine. I don't like anti-virus software because they gobble up system resources that don't need to go something like protecting the Mac from nonexistent trouble.
But if you're going to lose sleep over this, then get ClamXav. But it's really a waste of your time.
