When using QuickBooks, it’s important to ensure smooth performance and prevent interruptions from antivirus software. Sometimes, antivirus programs mistakenly flag QuickBooks files or processes, which can cause slowdowns, connection issues, or even prevent the software from opening. To avoid this, users are advised to set up QuickBooks antivirus exclusions for QuickBooks-related folders, files, and services. The exclusions typically include QuickBooks program files, database server files, and related executable files. By configuring these exceptions, you allow QuickBooks to run without interference while still keeping your system protected. Each antivirus brand has its own method for adding exclusions, so it’s best to check your antivirus documentation and follow specific steps.
