Antivirus Applications
When you deliver the system to a customer you should explain how
antivirus programs containing autoscanning features can interfere
with the operation of an Avid application such as Avid Xpress.
For example, some antivirus programs can be configured to run in the
background and scan all files for viruses whenever they are opened,
copied, or moved. Since virus scanning is a processor- and
disk-intensive activity, it can interfere with digitizing and playing
real-time effects in an Avid application.
Avid recommends that you do not scan all files or schedule any
background task like virus scanning when you are using an Avid
application.
File deletion protection utilities also consume system resources and
could interfere with the proper operation of an Avid application.
These utilities automatically back up any files that are deleted, even
temporary files created and deleted by the Avid application. This
consumes a large amount of disk space.
