Why does the Antivirus Complaint about my projects and not with MASM32 examples?

[xandaz]

    I'm having trouble with this. everytime i build an app, upon executing it the AV scans the file. When i open and execute a Masm32 example i doesnt do anything. Why is that? can anyone help?

Hi xandaz,

They are probably false positives. You could configure your AV to exclude your projects folder.

Don't forget to check this subforum :

Try a couple of things, create a manifest if you are not already using one AND set a version control block in the RC script.

If it's for your private use, configure your AV to exclude your projects folder, as Erol suggested. There is no point in trying to please the sh*tty AV software unless you want to sell your software.

The last 5 years or so I haven't used an AV on my dev machine, no problems so far. Every now and then I have to give the admin password, and in these moments I have to reflect what I am doing, but otherwise Win7 protects itself sufficiently.
