virus scanning software conflicts

[L_V_Developer]

We have had a problem in the past when we have had one of our Dynamic Vehicle Test computers running a labview executable program. The computer was connected to a network, and we would have problems with the program locking up when the virus scan software was active. Altruis virus scan software is what we used, but we had to deactivate the virus software, and disconnect the computer from the network.

We are now using Trend Micro Office scan virus software, and I was wondering if you have had any problems with executables locking up or freezing while this virus scannig software is active. We are (Autocartruck) currently upgrading our computers, and we would like to be able to recconect the computer to the network, and have the virus software active.

I am a Labview consultant here at Autocar, and I am trying to upgrade the computers they are using, and be able to run the Labview DVT program while the computer is connected to the network and the Virus software is active. In the past, they have experienced a problem with the program locking up, because of some system level commands being executed while the executable program is running. I have tried running a non executable version of the same program, and got the same results. However, I have not tried running either version with the Trend micro Office scan software. I would like to know if there have been any reported problems, or conflicts before I do

I have seen all kinds of problems occur with virus software...I'd suggest suspending any scans while running ANY program, and do scans when users/programs are inactive. I can't comment on the specific software you are using though.

Hi L_V_Developer,

There have been several instances reported here, but Trend Micro recently released an update which has hopefully eliminated any conflicts.
