I'm not making excuses for it, just trying to help. Try and infer what it's scanning. If you're coding, then that directory. If you're doing video editing, then that program. Set up exclusions for things that your PC should be doing.
Heuristics could be used to infer that stuff, so it's not ideal that we have to do it manually.
- cm2187 5y agoOh I know what it is doing. My deployment mechanism on my home computers is that when it launches one of my apps, it checks first if there isn’t a new version stored on a private cloud repository, and if there is, downloads it, and runs it. The apps aren’t signed. And I am pretty sure that triggers defender’s malware downloading binaries from c&c network logic, so it randomly deletes the executable. Also when I want to scan all the video files in a folder I run ffprobe hundreds of times pretty much in parallel and defender will want to inspect each instance of the same ffprobe exe independently, resulting in a 100% cpu usage and slow scan. I solved the issue by defining folders exclusions but I don’t believe it can be scripted and it is a pain in the ass. All of the above is unwanted behaviour of an antivirus working against me.
- unionpivo 5y agoMove most of the things(programs, data) on other drive and exclude whole drive. EDIT: I have 4 drives on my C machine: Every disk but C is excluded. - C - as little stuff as possible, does not exclude - D - programming and misc utilities (everything from browsers to total commander, editors, programming languges is here) - E - Gaming - F - network share - media That said my primary workstation is linux, htat just backup/gaming/windows programming one
