Hello, long time fan of Hak 5 here with a decent amount of computer skills.
My university requires Windows users to install Bradford Networks "Client Security Agent" in order to ensure that individual users have Symantec anti-virus, windows defender, and windows patches installed and up to date. If something isnt right, the computer gets quarantined until everything is installed and running. Requiring the anti-virus and windows defender to be on all the time significantly impacts the performance (and sometimes stability) of my computer, and being a gamer that just isn't acceptable.
I think that I would have no trouble taking care of my own computer as I have been doing it for years now and know what I am doing. Interestingly, my friend was able to access the network with no trouble at all after reformatting his computer (with windows xp 64-bit) even without the client security program running.
Any help on how I could either fake the traffic of the program or otherwise not have to keep all of the anti-virus and whatnot running when I want to game would be very helpful.
