hat antivirus or security suite works well with PIA?

bongbongkoolstylebongbongkoolstyle
in Windows VPN Setup
I was running Kaspersky Internet Security.  Immediately after the latest update, PIA stopped working or worked so slowly it was essentially useless.  I played with Kaspersky settings for hours to try to get PIA to work again but was unable to do it.  In the end, I had to completely uninstall Kaspersky from my computer and reinstall the tap driver in order to get PIA working again.  Currently, I am just using the security essentials program that comes with Windows 10.  I was wondering if someone could recommend an antivirus program or security suite that plays nice with PIA.  I had 10 months left on my license for Kaspersky but I can't use it if it's incompatible with PIA, which seems to be the case.  Any suggestions would be appreciated but I'm not personally a fan of McAfee or Norton and would prefer something that works well, doesn't screw up PIA and is relatively light on computer resources.

    hello,
    these are the following files that must be brought on your protection program's whitelist underneath home windows:

    C:/software documents/pia_manager/openVPN.exe
    C:/program files/pia_manager/pia_manager.exe
    C:/program files/pia_manager/tapinstall.exe
    C:/program files/pia_manager/installer_win.exe
    C:/application files/pia_manager/pia-openvpn.dll
    C:/windows/system32/DRIVERS/tap0901.sys
    C:/software files/pia_manager/nwjs/pia_nw.exe
    if you're running MacOS, or Linux that is the folder you will need to whitelist:

    ~/.pia_manager
    including those exceptions will exclude our VPN software from your antivirus. this could solve troubles where your antivirus may be blocking off or impeding your VPN connection.
    please consider these before you find antivirus workig with PIA
    regards
