No. I just did it, and disabled some of the other programs (antivirus
and others) that were going on and now UMK3 is pegged at 100% and
golden tee plays great. You would think that this would have been one
of the first things I would have done. Thanks so much for your fresh
perspective.

In my opinion those virus scanner which always scan make no sense,
besides eating up CPU cycles anyway.

As even if you manually scan files very new viruses are not reliable
detected anyway.

According to <http://www.virustotal.com/> and my tests 35%-47% of scan
engines there find fairly new viruses, the rest fail (performing better
when the virus is a day old or two).

Tired of Windows malware but fear to try out Linux? Try a CD-live Linux which
does not touch your harddisk. Like <http://www.ubuntu.com/> or
