Although, it's a little bit strange because I have never had
this issue with my C++ development.
The c++ compiler and runtime libraries are common enough that
the antivirus realizes it is nothing special, but since D is
more obscure it just flags it as abnormal and does further
checks. (more obscure C++ compilers can do the same thing).
Walter has written Microsoft and they have OK'd it before, but
then one side or the other updates and then they are out of
whack again :(
Yes, the anti-virus situation is really annoying on windows. I
couldn't install dmd 2.080 on the work PC as the AV always
quarantained some of the installed tools which made the install
routine fail. The blame lies on our work PC's which are
incredibly misconfigured and limited (proxy that Microsoft VS
installer can not overcome even if any other program can, extra
small system SSD, eager anti-virus that cannot be instructed of
anything, profiles with read/write desktop but no delete (this
means that a shortcut can be copied on the desktop but can never
be removed), etc. etc.)
Just had to vent my frustration. I love D but the elements are
against me to be able to enjoy it to the fullest...
