[Dev-C++] NAV incompatible problem

[<gil...@ya...>]

Dev-c++ doesn't seem to be compliant with Norton Anti-Virus.  When I dissable NAV it compiles fine otherwise it crashes my system.
I was wonderin whether there is a bug fix, patch or otherwise that I can get which will allow me to run NAV and Dev-C++ both at once?
 
Thanks for any reply

Building programs and at the same time check them for viruses is alot of =
work for nothing.

As a general rule I don't recommend _any_ antivirus running when you =
compile programs. Alot of low level calls are made and many programs are =
opened and NAV is trying to read and understand everything that is going =
on when it's really not important. Either disable the antivirus program =
temporary or see if there's any settings to skip checking the files you =
open through gcc or DevCpp.

If there's a "bug fix" somewhere it should be at Symantec for the NAV =
program.

Norton Anti-Virus is known to work miserably with a lot of different
compilers, so you should obviously not request fixes to the Dev-C++ tool
but instead ask Symantec how to fix their product.

David,

There's an interaction of NAV with the Windows indexing service that can 
slow things down a lot; perhaps it's stressing your OS to the point that 
it crashes.   (This assumes you're running a flavor of Windows that has 
this service.  I run Windows XP.)

I filed a complaint about this interaction with Symantec, who said it 
was fixed in their latest update, but that means little since I always 
run LiveUpdate.  So when I remember to do it, I just turn off indexing.

If you want to try this, right click My Computer --> Manage, select 
Services and Applications --> Services in the left pane, and select 
Indexing Service in the right pane.  Then just click the "Stop" link. 
If you only see a "Start" link, it means the indexing service isn't running.

hth,
Doug
