Hi, Since I did a trial version of AVG and reverted back to the free version AVG is scanning all my Visual Studio built exec files and putting up a dialog and slowing down my solution build at every link I have about 10 execs in my project. Then when I go to exclude the directory it comes up with an advert trying to get me to by the full version.
Out of principle I am not going to pay a company Microsoft (AVG) for an antivirus to protect its own insecure operating system. There were or still are DCE RCE's in Windows left over from Windows 3.1 days IIRC.
So if I had not clicked on your damn advert I would not have had this problem that has wasted me not hours but days !!
So what do I do ?
