Security Protection Applications

Anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall and other security protection applications could potentially block POSitive and its files, especially when not properly configured for use with POSitive. We recommend that you add the entire 'POSitive' installation folder, and any SQL Server resources, to your protection software's exclusions/exceptions list on every computer (contact your software's helpdesk or vendor for assistance) .

The following applications have been known to cause issues with POSitive:

Avast!*

CCleaner*

ESET**

Malwarebytes*

AVG Antivirus

AVG TuneUp

BitDefender

EMSISoft

F-Secure

Iobit Advanced System Care*

Kaspersky Anti-virus

Malwarebytes

McAfee Antivirus and

McAfee LiveSafe

Nod32 Antivirus

Norton/Symantec Antivirus/Endpoint Protection*

Panda Antivirus

Threatfire

Trend Micro

VIGuard Anti-virus

We recommend Windows Defender for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

*We recommend these applications be fully uninstalled from your system if adding the POSitive installation folder to their exclusions/exceptions list does not resolve issues.

**Known to have caused Windows Cryptonite errors.
