Anti-Virus
Listing of A/V (Anti-Virus) applications that have been tested (install and usage) with SolidWorks.
Note:
- If your application and version is listed here you DO NOT have to turn off or disable anti-virus during installation (and re-boot). These applications have been tested with new installs and service pack updates for the Mainstream Supported version(s) of SolidWorks.
- If your application is not listed here, we cannot verify whether your A/V application will block the instalation of SolidWorks software or Windows component registration. This means you may need to turn anti-virus off during install and re-boot of the system.
- If a red X appears next to the application, this means there is a problem and you would need to disable A/V during the installation and reboot of your computer.
