Purebasic with debugger Mcaffee blocks

[HPW]

Hello,

When I test with any example with compile/start with enabled Debugger, my Mcaffee real-time protection blocks the exe.
First comes a message that purebasic cannot use the internal Debugger and then Mcaffee Pops up about isolating purebasic_compilation0.exe with a GenericRXCL...... Virus.

What can I do?

You need to add PureBasic.exe and its related files to McAfee's white list.

Hello,

I have purebasic.exe in my whitelist.
What do you mean by 'related files'?
I can not configure Mcaffee to exculde a Folder from realtime-protection.
And it complains about the temp-exe.

Related files are "purebasic_compilation0.exe", etc. Why can't you configure McAfee to ignore PureBasic's folder? That should be a basic feature of any good AV software. Or is McAfee that bad?

Hello,

>>purebasic_compilation0.exe

Ok, but it is not practical to enter each new testfile in every related path into the Whitelist which can be only done from admin account.

And you can not set Folders to exclude from the real time protection. You can only do it for Virus scans. So it is that bad.

If the marked option is not checked (like on the above picture), then the temporary executables (PureBasic_Compilation0.exe, PureBasic_Compilation1.exe etc.) are all created in the %temp% directory. Putting these files on the whitelist shouldn't be too much of a problem.

You can always wildcard them in your AV with an asterisk at the end, to cover all possibilities:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Temp\PureBasic_Compilation*

I've done this with Avast, and I never get a warning when compiling my apps.

If McAfee is any good, it should have the functionality to wildcard files as well.

Kaspersky is also fully compatible with Purebasic development and always ranked among the top products in antivirus tests.

I've used Kaspersky for perhaps 5 years and have found it very reliable and trouble free.
