BitDefender Doesn't Play Well With VFP
by Paul H. Tarver 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

Just wanted to throw this out and see if anyone is running into something similar. I have been wanting to find a new AV tool for my system and have been testing BitDefender for the last few weeks. I started with the free version and upgraded to the paid version after I realized the free version didn't let me exclude processes or files or folders. However, since I've upgraded, I found that there is apparently something BitDefender doesn't like about some of the stuff Foxpro does during compilation (it crashes before completion and throws an error about unable to write to the path). Alternatively, when I run my modified GENDBC.prg to create a dbcbuilder file used by my applications, not only does it crash it trashes the DBC file being processed. I've tried excluding VFP6 and VFP9 processes and I've tried excluding files to no avail. The only solution is to go into BitDefender and turn it off for 15 minutes or so and then I can complete the GENDBC or compilation process without any problems. So here's my questions: 1) Is there something I need to do different with BitDefender to make be more friendly to VFP? 2) Should I just dump Bitdefender and go with a different AV tool? If so, what's the recommended tool. Thanks! Paul H.

Hi All, I use the VIPRE product - used to be SunBelt, then GFI, now ThreatTrack, but you can get there as vipre.com. Business versions for multiple computers, centrally managed, Home versions for singles. Home is 30% off right now... *Brant Layton* 480.964.1316 On 12/6/2017 9:09 AM, profoxtech-request(a)leafe.com wrote: > RE: BitDefender Doesn't Play Well With VFP --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

[NF] Anyone working within the cloud?

If so which service and what tools are you liking so far? We are being pushed hard to jump to the cloud and I don't know how we are goig to do a lot of the necessary things around the ERP that we do. We are told it is a SaaS experience and we are disconnected from a direct db hookup. There is a tool they wrote, ION, and we will have to work through that. Happy Happy Joy Joy! Not sure how we are going to roll our pricing update at the end of each month. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

[NF] How about this alternative to purchasing a new machine?

My Dell Latitude E5530 laptop already has 16GB RAM. I'm thinking I can just replace my current 128GB SSD with his 1TB SSD: http://deals.dell.com/work/productdetail/pv2 Add the cost of the OS: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Pro-System-Builder/dp/B00ZSHDJ4O/r… Comes out way ahead of the new machine! :-)

Hey there folks, So - I'm curious - and looking for feedback from those experienced w/the SW. I've used it in the past - recently installed it on my desktop PC - and its running. But, the trial ended and now its giving me Nag messages to buy it and upgrade for Real-time protection. Am curious to know if its truly worth it. Any input would be greatly appreciated. -K-

How cool would it be if Calvin Hsia and the rest of the VFP team or new folks were reactivated on VFP at M$? Yeah...just a fantasy but a fun quick thought for the moment! And now back to the real world....lol
