Hi everybody,
I'm using visual studio 2003 to develope web&windows applications in csharp.
Some time ago, the company upgraded to McAfee ViruScan v8.0.0.
Since then the visual studio has slowed down to unacceptable performance
(several MINUTES to open a project it's take around 10 SECONDS to open when
the Scan-On-Access is disabled).
The same kind of performance problems happen with source safe (checking
in/out).
I've talked to the guy at McAfee support, and apparently he's not familiar
with this problem with visual studio.
He's asked me to send him the list of file extentions and/or programs to
exclude from the Scan-On-Access.
I'm not sure which file extentions I should exclude (beside .cs,.csproj,.sln)
Has anybody had this problem with McAfee, and solved it?
And if the solution was to switch to another antivirus, what would you
recommend?
