Viruses and malware

Viruses and other malware are potential problems that should be considered when using any software.

However, most anti-virus software is very intrusive and reduces performance as it actively scans the system in the background. When using Disguise hardware for a show, you want as few background applications running as possible to maximize the performance. Therefore, we do not install anti-virus software by default on any 4U or 2U system.

Recommended virus scanner

For information on the virus scanner we recommend which does not reduce performance please see the software sub-chapter Viruses and malware.
