Re: [platform-dev] Impact of Windows Defender and Eclipse startup
|
Can you make one of the affected persons try running this before they
start eclipse?
"%programfiles%\Windows Defender\mpcmdrun" -scan -file
"full_path_to_eclipse_installation"
If that helps, we could potentially add this to the installer (but not
the ZIPs, of course), in the hope Defender afterwards remembers it
already scanned the installation. However, I have no experience with the
above, I just googled around for cmd line interaction with defender.
There are also more options (like different scan types), not sure if
that makes an additional difference.
Another potential issue to check: Windows marks downloaded files
automatically as "unsafe". See
https://www.howtogeek.com/70012/what-causes-the-file-downloaded-from-the-internet-warning-and-how-can-i-easily-remove-it/
for an instruction of how to remove that marker from many files. I'm not
sure if this really has any relation with Windows defender scans, I
think it only triggers the "Do you really want to..." popup.
That all being said, at our company we have given up to find something
better than filters as workaround. With TrendMicro Antivirus on access
scanning being active, every git operation inside eclipse is about 10
times slower than with eclipse filtered from the scan.
