[Ama]

Had my computer fixed recently and needed to ask a tech question.  Will Trend Micro Antvirus 2007 or Webroot Spy Sweeper interfer with EverQuest II?

<p>Unfortunately my scanner must be different because I can't locate that feature.  However I have rarely encountered slowdowns so it may already be configured.  My slowdowns have coinsided with my guildmates slowdowns so this makes me think it is server based.  </p><p>Know it happened routinely in Nektulos forest last night.  Had a few problems in TS but it was only once or twice then it smoothed out.  Have a feeling my system is still settling down and once it gets back into it's initial operation it'll be fine.  </p><p>Thanks for the answers though and if it becomes a problem i'll know where to go. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
