	Yes, absolutely �--- especially if the pc is used on-line. A lot of simmers use MSE - Microsoft Security Essentials. It has a very good reputation and it's free. There are many free ones, however. So no need to pay for one. I also use the free versions of: * Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool * �Malwarebytes Anti-Malware I have a few others installed, but these should do the job sufficiently. I use Smart Close to close all unnecessary programs running in the background while simming or instailling FSX stuff. That would also shut down any anti virus stuff. Usually, however my dedicated flying rig is off-line. Another excellent program for shutting down processes and services is Alacrity PC. It was written by a fellow simmer, Ken Salter, and is also free.

	I use Avast free, you only need to use your name and your email address to register it every year, which I consider to be a reasonable ask, and I think it's a great Anti Virus program. I turn the shields off for 10 minutes (or for 1 hour if I feel 10 minutes isn't going to be long enough) while installing stuff for FSX because anything that accesses the registry is considered a threat. I turn them back on once the installation is done, but if I forget to, they turn themselves back on after the duration that I specified. Disabling the Avast shields for a specified time.
