[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 89360, post: 915605"] AVG and Avast have copied some Norton stuff. Streaming updates were known as Norton Pulse updates and their whitelisting is similar to Norton Insight/Bitdefender Photon. The first time you use a file, it’s exempt from whitelisting. Afterwards, if it’s in their whitelist, it won’t be touched again. This explains why on first launch everything is slower. The whitelist doesn’t get erased, but over time files trust may be revoked.
