It was probably a mistake in the long run but when I got my last version of biab audiophile I turned of software update on my pc. some of that was founded in ignorance, thinking there was a virus for my pc everywhere.

I've always used macs till my last version of biab. So I browsed with great abandon. Never a problem.

I'm thinking some of my problems with this version of audiophile [`15 ] might due to lack of updates. It remembers none of the changes I make in the mixer area re levels, what is muted, master volume, reverb, EQ.

I do not like the DESPERATE nature of the various antivirus software that has spent a very short time in my pc. Same goes to microsoft. Hence the reluctance to update.

They are all in my face all the time trying to justify their existance. I'm going to take it to someone who I'm told is very good with pc's.

Is is possible for a person to update from trusted sites with no anti virus permanently installed in my pc? Also in past versions there used to be a build number in the help menu. Where is that info these days please? Lastly, what should I ask him not to update or add to my software?

Thanks for your time.
