Hi guys so today I've been having a lot of trouble with anti viruses

 

I tried AVG and Bitdefender, and they keep stopping one of my files from working

 

I've added that file as an exception but no luck

 

basically, I downloaded skyrim and an update and the launcher was apparently a virus with a temporary svhost

 

However, i checked pages of comments and everyone says its safe.

 

 

So my question is, what anti virus should i download that wont fuck my files up..

Main PC: 4690k // Z97 // R9 280 3GB // 8gb Ram // CM Elite 430 Case // 750 EVGA B PSU // 1TB HDD

 

Living Room "Console" PC: FX 8350 // 990a SLI Krait // R7 360 // 8gb Ram // HAF 912 // 750 EVGA B PSU // 1TB HDD

 

Future Plans:

find a 2nd monitor at a pawn shop

Sell/giveaway R7 360, move r9 280 into console PC, buy a better GPU for main PC.

Remember, even if you do have antivirus, some viruses are undetected and will work past the antivirus.
