No, I'm actually saying that apparently *any* antivirus solution which
does on-access scannning of files randomly breaks creation of files.<br>
This apparently only happens on W2K, as I've never seen it on NT4.<br>
<br>
Note that I have personally only observed this behaviour with Norton,
but my coworkers tell me they have seen the same symptoms with McAfee
and Norman.<br>

Unfornunately, the problem also appears with McAfee and Norman Antivirus
(though possibly less often).

<pre wrap=""><!---->I actually had to go for a walk after reading this.
Are you actually saying that Norton breaks the creation of files?
If so, can anyone give a single good reason why I shouldn't just make cvsnt
refuse to run if it finds Norton resident? I *refuse* to be the Norton
unnoficial support line again, like I was when they broke the sockets
layer.
For the money they charge they should be able to pay a whole army of testers
to get the bugs out. It sounds like they couldn't be bothered testing
their product and just release it and to hell with the customers.
