Software developer here. My corporate IT also runs Symantec Endpoint Protection. For a period of about three months last year, SEP would delete my executables and dll's AS I WAS COMPILING THEM in Visual Studio. This would of course result in a failure to build the project. Usually compiling a second time would succeed, but sometimes it would take three or four tries. Needless to say, this resulted in an email from IT informing me of the unusual activity on my system, and when I told them it was deleting software that I was writing, they had to get approval from two levels of management that it was actually my job to be writing software and it should be allowed by SEP.
