For years, I've prevented my edit platform from accessing the Internet directly, but now I'm in a situation where I have to do this at times -- it is unavoidable. I don't have to be online while editing in MC, but I'm concerned that I don't have an antivirus and firewall installed. I've searched the forums for information and see that antivirus should be turned off while editing, and that media drives should be excluded from running scans.
Does anyone have advice on how to run antivirus and firewalls on the PC where MC resides? Are there any best practices that work for you?
Thank you.
