Game crashes all the time and has become unplayable - check your Anti-virus program !

It's been a while since I had the strength and enthusiasm to login and try playing again. I thought I'd give it a shot after the last patch to see if anything is more "stable". I still crash out on occasion but further troubleshooting has revealed my anti-virus program may be the cause of the game shutting down. When I turn the AV real-time scanning off the game is much more stable. There's still the occasional crash but that's pretty much expected in POE. For other's out there - if you are having the same issue check your AV program. Exclude POE from real time scanning. Maybe it will help
