    I get asked for a reboot after every update when running with a XP limited user account.
    Already posted this in castlecops Prevx forum, but no answers.

    What should I do? Accept this behaviour or uninstall Prevx 2, cause frequent reboot is not an option.
    Anyone else having same problem or you all run with admin account?

    I doubt if contacting support would help me. There is a post in prevx forum and not a single answer.
    I did a shutdown of Prevx 2 in admin account and then did a manual update of Avira AntiVir. And I got the same prompt to reboot. And the prevx mode was Pro instead Expert this time. :mad:

    A shutdown of Prevx may just unload the GUI and still leave the service running, hence the persistent conflict, hard to say...

    If it were me, I think I'd just decide which I liked best, Prevx or AntiVir, and remove the other..

    Dont judge their support looking at the forum. Use the internal support within Prevx. Atleast I get an answer within a day at latest, usually quicker than that. I guess they can give much better help if one submits the (optional) information when clicking the support button.
