AVG Anti-Virus

Today I went to start SmartSDR and my computer windows 11 and it said app not found. After restarting and rebooting (router, radio, and computer) several times with no luck I turned off the AVG Anti-Virus and everything came back. I check all the setting and it said all the FlexRadio software was allowed to work through AVG. I removed and reinstalled AVG with the same result so I have removed it for now. I think they had an update last night and it caused the problem. I have run AVG for years with no problem until now. Anyone else having this problem and was able resolve it can you please tell me how?

Thanks Dennis

    You don't need AVG or any other anti-virus software anyway. The built in antivirus/antimaleware on Windows is more than sufficient.

    I agree with John. Windows Defender, which comes for free with Windows is more that adequate.

    And, personally, I have my PC firewall turned off since my entire network is behind a firewall already. Firewalls can help to impact communication to the radio if not correctly configured.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
