As title really. I've noticed this since the 2018 update came out back in November. I noticed that Premiere Pro and Media Encoder would hang on startup if I had Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security installed and uninstalling Trend fixed it - see this thread: Premiere Pro CC 2018 crashes on start (it may also be the case that other AVs are a problem too). You can see from that thread I went as far as reinstalling Windows and still the issue wasn't fixed as Trend was the culprit.
Any reason why this is and any suggestions for sorting this issue? I've used Trend and Adobe products in harmony for years and years, only with CC 2018 do things end up messy.
I'm using Windows Defender and Malwarebytes at the moment but would like to have a proper AV installed again.
Was a problem on both of my machines:
Desktop PC / i7 3770K / 32GB RAM / GTX 760 4GB / 2x250GB SSD RAID-0 / Windows 10 1709
ThinkPad T440s Touch / i7 4600U / 12GB RAM / Intel HD 4000 / 500GB SSD / Windows 10 1709
Thanks
