During operations on large files Webroot contributes a significant portion of the CPU overhead. If the customer believes these particular files are safe they should have the option to exclude them from protection and un-needed overhead.
These suggestions are for "traditional" AV software. Since Webroot SecureAnywhere functions differently, exclusions like these are only needed in rare cases.@ wrote:
Here is Google's "strong" advice re. installation of its G Suite syncing software, to permit MS Outlook users to sync their pst files with G Suite email, etc.:
"Dear G Suite Sync user,
Thanks for installing G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook®. This software will synchronize your calendar, contacts, email, notes, tasks and domain's global address list with G Suite. Before you get started, there are a few things you should know about the current version of G Suite:
• Your journal entries will not synchronize with G Suite.
• G Suite Sync will initially download up to 1GB of email from the G Suite Server to your desktop. You can change this setting from the system tray menu. (learn more).
• Your initial sync can take a long time, because there's a lot of email to download. To see your synchronization status, look at synchronization status in your system tray.
• We strongly recommend that you create an exclude rule in your antivirus software so that it does not scan any files located under %LOCALAPPDATA%GoogleGoogle Apps Sync.
For more information, go here:
• G Suite Sync User Manual
• What's different and won't sync between Microsoft Outlook® and G Suite
• Read the Frequently Asked Questions
• Tools for administrators deploying G Suite Sync
• How to get help
Thanks for using G Suite Sync,
The G Suite Sync Team"
Please Submit a Support Ticket for this case. Shutting down WSA when compiling may be a temporary solution, though obviously not ideal.@ wrote:
As a coder, you should be familiar with stream (including file) open commands. You pick the file, you pick the mode, you get a handle.
So why am I geting locked files that are causing compliation to fail? Lockhunter reports WRSA holding the locks.
There comes a time for all people to move on to New Things™. Trust me, it shocked a lot of folks when I departed Webroot. Now I'm making more money as the Technology Manager at a school and I get to put my "OMG HALP! MAKE IT WORK!!" skills to excellent use. From security to WiFi to hardware to aquariums... Sheesh.

Kit, thanks for the great explanation. I wonder why so skilled specialist is already retired Webrooter ;)
I have a list of reasons to not include folder exclusions:@ wrote:
My Norton subscription is running out, so I'm checking back in here to see if Webroot has come to their senses. Alas, still being stubborn it seems, even though a business user submitted a long list of good reasons to allow folder exclusion:

Looks like Norton can count me in for another year.
