You can’t just stop using AV software I’m told. The key is checked for everyone, including people with no AV. Contrary to the sensational headlines, it is implied to be a temporary measure. It’s not really clear whether you’d have to only do this manually once, or on every subsequent update.

- sambe 9y agoThat makes sense to me, but then why the need for AV to repeatedly set the key?
- cube2222 9y agoIf you do it once, it may be that your AV isn't compatible with the patch and will cause your system to bluescreen and maybe not even turn on, so no, you really shouldn't do that.
- sambe 9y agoIf you have no AV, you can be pretty sure that’s not an issue.
