    Default geforce experience Avast false positives

    Not really hardware but pc related none the less, anyones avast freaking out when they try do a update on geforce experience.

    Avast blocked my recording software in the middle of a recording. I had to kill the service to finish recording the guitar parts. Also had Avast blocked Minecraft installation and other game installs. So I uninstalled that and put some other Panda thing on. Panda's are way more chilled out. :-)
