[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1072875, member: 99434"] Hello :) I'm just wondering if I should be concerned at all with not having an AV installed on one of my work PCs. Yesterday, my mill stopped during a project and just sat there, in one position with the spindle turning, but going nowhere (example of the milling process shown below). It has happened to me before and I even had a note on my monitor to unplug any USB backup (WD Passport) and to not have any 3rd party AV installed. I called support, and he said it's the PC not transferring the data to the mill, it is being interrupted and it could be the USB cable. So I uninstalled F-Secure, unplugged WD Passport, and blew out the USB connections, and the mill ran normally. This PC is part of a home, and business network, so I can send the files to mill from this main PC where I design my work. I have F-Secure installed on this one which is my main PC for receiving .stl files from my accounts, as well as sending files through the vendors portal for designs and milling. This PC, as well as the others, are behind a cheap but up-to-date Linksys router with updated firmware and security settings in place. The other PC is only getting files shared from this PC. Since it's just a task-orientated (the mill PC) is Windows 11 Security good enough and that my real concern should be the "main" PC, as to not spread any malware I could possibly get through to the other two PCs that are connected as well? (3 total PCs that are used daily or routinely) I do have Kaspersky Plus, which plays nicely with this "main" PC, should I be using that instead of F-Secure for possibly better security? An Enterprise type of AV would be over my head and maybe overkill for my needs. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions you may have, I appreciate it :) [MEDIA=youtube]5Xd2e6vxrnw:116[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
