I find it amusing that on the Vanguard Offical Support Forums that this is being said to be the reasons for the game crashing.

3. Random crashing inside the game
When playing the game, certain issues may cause crashing at random points. Unfortunately, those issues could be caused by anything ranging from improperly-configured firewall/security software to faulty computer hardware. In order to troubleshoot this type of issue effectively, it is best to simplify the computer's setup down to the bare basic requirements to get the game running and connected to the Internet.

Yeah, i found it a bit off putting also. Since allot of people have already noticed that the majority of things wrong with the client are indeed the client, not the user of his/her machine.
I mean, none of that is going to stop the blue screen of death sue to an improperly coded shader that incorrectly accessing a a video cards features.
It also wont fix the large memory leak in the client.
Or Z sorting issues on the server.

"Hello person posting on a site specifically for MMO's in a thread on a sub forum specifically for a particular game talking about meta features and making comparisons to other titles in the genre, and their meta features.
How are you?" -Me
And the fanboy community started to repeat the message all over the forums over and over again, it was really annoying.
The memory leak is the most likely culprit for crashes.
Um these things go for every game. Anti-virus causes problems if it's scanning the game. They shouldn't tell you to remove it unless you are useing that POS nortion crap. You just need to set an exclusion to exclude the games files. The anti-virus auto-updating also slows my connection pretty bad sometimes and i'm on high-speed, but that's mostly because i'm splitting a 1mb line with 5 other people and it updates all of us at ounce. As for firewalls. I don't use 'em. No need to. I keep ad-ware/spy-ware cleaner and run it every night automaticly when i'm sleeping same for anti-virus then it does a registry clean, then it does a internet clean, then it does a disk clean, basically it cleans everything and does a defrag once a month. All of this is done automaticly and while i'm sleeping so deff not intrussive. I also can by-pass it if I stay up late and it'll restart cleaning soon as my computer goes idle for 1hr.
Only people who truely need firewalls are people who are holding some extremely important information and would be a likely target. Otherwise a router based firewall and the firewall built into your modem is the basic needs you'll ever use. If you insist on a firewall then go right ahead. I just use my router. I used to use a personal firewall, but it was nothing but a bandwith hog and did nothing. I did like that I could block all microsoft services, but the connection perfomance hit wasn't worth running the damn thing.
Anyway do as you please. I for one don't run anti-virus or anything like that while gameing. As a matter of fact I wrote a program to close/disable everything other then the necessities to run my game while i'm gameing and to re-enable when it closes. Gives me best performance. Also don't ask me to make you one. It's specific to each computer just learn to program, because even if I could I wouldn't. Only other programs it'll allow me to open during gameing is media player for music and internet explorer. Everything else is block from being opened. Start bar. Nope it be gone. Special bar is on the bottom with 3 buttons (Game, Browser, Music). Pretty nifty.
