Look, when I started Silkroad my Norton popped up and asked if I wanted to allow connections to this, take a look:

There is an Error Sender for Silkroad but I dunno if that is it, can't check no SRO. Nice job in almost getting hacked?

Avast Antivirus > All(Except for maybe Kaspersky)

Ive gotten that error before but nothing like that. Its different. I'll printscreen it if I do get it.

Uh, so?

It sends error reports obviously. Not like it is gonna send them to itself on your computer so it will need to access the internet so that it can send them to JM.

webroot sucks dude, it does jack shit (In removing viruses). It's EXCELLENT in preventing them though, but every once in a while one will get through, and you can't get rid of it.
Norton is really good for getting rid of viruses, and has pretty good prevention as well.

the error sender has to connect to a server (a web server not the game server) to the send the info why your game crashed, it no was trying to "hack" you (in fact there are not really hackers on sro just lammers, scammers and noobish atempts to imitate a "hacker")

AVG > *

I do have the corporate version, Symantec Endpoint Protection installed on my home system. I have been keeping it disabled though because it tends to slow my system down. Granted I only have 512 megs of RAM...

I'm currently using AVG, but perhaps I should switch back to SEP?

Errr...where can I send you some RAM? No one should be running with 512...except Linux.

IMHO, you are better off with AVG or Avast than Symantec Corp.

Good question. The UPS guy often gets lost trying to deliver things to my house, and often has to stop and ask the nearest gopher for directions after getting a flat tire from all the pot holes.

I definitely agree no one should be running with 512 megs of RAM on a Windows XP/Vista system. I do dual boot XP and Linux. The system runs fine in Linux of course, and XP is alright if I only run one or two apps at a time. I can only hope some more RAM magically appears on my doorstep.

As for antivirus... I know Symantec has different types of products including Endpoint Protection, Client Security, and maybe some others. I just tried using Symantec Endpoint Protection because my employer allows us to use our site license at home. So far, I'm sticking with AVG.

is it true that if you block or delete it, it prevents lag in game?
