[M3devel] non-deterministic behavior on Windows

[Randy Coleburn]

Ok, I think maybe the AntiVirus is causing the problems.
 
I upgraded to a new version of my AV program a couple of weeks ago.
 
After uninstalling it completely, the builds seem to work again.
 
Perhaps the trouble is due to fact that I "upgraded" an in-place
installation instead of first uninstalling completely.
 
I am going to try and reinstall my AV program and see how it fares.
 
Regards,
Randy

Hi all:
without fear for being non-respectful, that thing is not quite right
and certainly not always possible, could be that you have a worm or
agent in your system, like a program infecting more and more each time
(believe it happens many times). Are the machines net interconnected
(LAn or WAN)?
I would prefer to say, I think IMHO, better to say, virus programs (or
try a brand new machine)....
Hope it helps,
