Why does Bitdefender always have to delete my shit? I just want to compile some code!
link.exe? Defenetly malware, I should delete it for the 20th time! You want to run some unittests? No, that's malware, better block this too.

Exclude your dev folders from scanning.

Or if using visual studio add a certificate to the exe.

(I did it but that was because the exe was released in prod and don't want some malware scanner to delete it xD)

Never heard of exclusion rules, no?

what's that "Bitdefender" animal you're talking about?

Put every project into a single folder
/projects

Exclude /projects from scanners.
Don't put anything you wouldn't shove up your own ass without lube in that folder - you may need to get better at your job though.

Simples. 🤷‍♂️

@Grumm @iiii I have the directory exclude, but for some reason I still have to manually exclude every execuable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks for the tip though!

i'm pretty sure the builtin antivirus from windows is good enough, and doesn't do shit like that

@thebiochemic it does but also has exception rules which work

@iiii ah okay 👍

I personally never had an issue with it tho

Best option is to just sign your code. For me it is common sense that an OS flags any random code someone can write.

You need some setup time but worth all the other problems.

@iiii I didn't add my visual studio project folders as exclusion on windows defender, and it doesn't delete my EXEs.

If you exclude directories you might as well not use any antivirus
Surely a virus won't scan those and run from there to avoid detection 🤡
