Acronis Software: Making Acronis Products Compatible with Antivirus Software
Acronis software needs exclusive access to your machine's disk to operate.
This means that antivirus software may conflict with Acronis products.
To eliminate the potential compatibility issues, you need to:
- Check the logs of your antivirus product to see what the Acronis processes and files/folders are conflicting;
- Add Acronis related files and folders to the exclusions of your antivirus product;
- Make sure Acronis related processes are allowed and trusted in your antivirus product.
