this usually happens mid game. my game just freezes and after 5-10 seconds it disappears giving me a notice that says critical error processes must be terminated and third party software prevents me from playing league. I think my norton is not letting me play league.
btw the link is the message i got. it's from a twitter post which is not mine.
BradNo1 votesDamn! That Norton guy has done it again.
3TWarrior1 voteshave you tried Pcmatic ? I think their free trial gives the same benefits as the free home version, but not sure. you could probably ask support about it as they get to you almost instantly
it's fairly light on resources and good for gaming
as for norton...norton causes problems with everything. It's a good AV but there are definitely better ones. It's also the most commonly targeted because most people don't even know that they can switch to something else
v1rtical1 votesyep, asked support and everything, said the problem was Norton altogether.
nm10101 votesI’m five years off of antivirus software and it is by far the best choice I’ve made. Many of them seem to turn into inhibitors rather than useful tools, including avast basically bricking my wife’s computer after advising her to “upgrade to premium”. This was when her laptop had issues we found out were caused by avast. Norton was gobbling up files from many programs I used (like league, which is probably what is happening to you). Then would deny me from reinstating the files because I wasn’t authorized or something. I tried to uninstall and it said I wasn’t authorized. I guess a clean install of windows changed who was authorized :^)
So really if you aren’t doing shit that will get you viruses then just get rid of antivirus programs all together imo.
v1rtical1 votesI don't know if I should cancel my 40$ subscription for Norton.
I should've known before...
3TWarrior1 votesit depends upon your mindset what product is best for you. the world of computer security is very complicated and offers a variety of solutions
pcmatic for instance is only as secure as the user. If you use the default settings, you will have to wait up to 24 hours to know if a program is safe or not but it also offers a way to change it so that you can override its decision if you know the program is safe (or likely to be safe...which again places the security level up to the user)
paid programs in the antivirus industry aren't guaranteed to be better than free programs either
some are even outright causing problems after microsoft basically said, "make this work the way we want it to or else" for windows 10
make and model of the pc can even influence them slightly
it's best to do your own research and form your own opinions(I do not advise testing with actual malware though), but backing up your data in some manner is often a good idea.
