Side note. Some AV snake oil products have an exclude list. But this means some still process the file (doing the harm to VFP) but just ignore the result.

There is no real need for AV products aside defender at all. Assuming user is turning brain on.
The proof is to turn the AV off - in some cases down to install the stuff.


@Dimitry, Let us know the outcome and AV products involved, if.
Friend of mine is struggling with something the like, loosing index and fpt files.
