SWL3600 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I just received the IFI Micro-link USB-SPDIF converter. I want to use it with Windows 10. It is not recognized by the computer so apparently I need to install a driver for this. Went on the IFI site and when I try to download the driver, my Norton Antivirus says this download is a serious threat. IFI says on the site that I may have to uninstall my Antivirus to make this happen. I'm definitely not comfortable with that, sooo...... Can anybody help me out here? I'm a little bummed out here and not very computer savvy. Anything else I've connected to my computer for audio was simple because all I had to do was connect it and away I went. Your help is much appreciated. Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Link to comment
sedest Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Try do temporarily disable your AV (lower down all shields). Perform the driver installation and reboot your machine. You should be good to go, with active AV from now on. Link to comment
SWL3600 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks, but what is AV? Where would it be? I've never noticed it in the control panel. Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Link to comment

SWL3600 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Ok. Yeah, that's what ifi says to do but what do you mean by lowering all shields? Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Link to comment
sedest Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 For Windows, it should be the same procedure, no matter the hardware. Take a look at the options of your AV software. On lower right of your screen you probably be able to see Norton AV icon for the running instance of it. Try to right-click this icon, option for temporarily disable AV should be there.

SWL3600 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Well that was painless! I'm up and running with my AV turned back on. I can't thank you enough sedest! Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk Link to comment
