The only remedy I can find is to upload the file as a false positive, but that results in hours of frustration trying to get access back to the file that AV has locked out. As soon as I re-compile, the new file is blocked. When I stopped the AV process, it restarted itself.

I'm honestly convinced some of these Anti-Virus systems are Viruses themselves.

Hello Michael,

I had this problem several times, and yes it is probably going to be frustrating to solve it. I had it with a webapp after installing a new DataFlex version and also with some of my applications. Eventually these problems where solved by sending in multiple examples of the file every time I compiled and got the blocking. Have you tried to contact falsepositives@symantec.com ? It is very sad my company doesn't want to switch to a different product but keeps using this failware.

Regards,
