Just tried GENDBC - copied a database and files to location away from dev (different drive). Ran the GENDBC from the command window without parameters and selected Database and Target prg at the subsequent prompts. Worked as expected. Have the prg, fxp and krt files - no corruption of the DBC. Currently using Bitdefender Total Security 2018.

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!
