Disable Anti-Virus?

No. There's no reason to disable your antivirus to play a game. If the game is triggering your antivirus, just add it to its exceptions list.

If the game is triggering the anti-virus, I'd be more inclined to find out why and look into the anti-virus itself, or wonder if a pirated copy of the game is at play here. I've used a couple different anti-viruses and no game has every triggered my anti-virus.

I never disable antivirus while I'm connected online.

Like what the others say, the anti virus should not be a problem.

Definitely not. If your computer is connected to Wifi, you should have anti virus no matter what.

I see no need to disable AV during game play. I've never heard of anyone attacking a computer connected to Origin. You can play offline and only go online when you want to download or upload to the Gallery.

Add ts4 to your exceptions folder. Games sometimes return false positives and the virus pop ups are annoying. I do dev work and have to except all my workspaces cause it thinks the code I'm writing could be malware as it's a script trying to change the system.

Maybe OP refer to suites or paid AV (include firewall)

If game was blocked, see antivirus logs / reports to see what engine/shield blocked it
