Development-problems Memes

Antivirus software on Windows has exactly one mode: paranoid delusion. Your code sits there doing absolutely nothing? Antivirus sleeps. The moment you hit F9 to compile, suddenly your IDE becomes a threat to national security and every antivirus known to mankind collectively loses its mind. Apparently compiling your "Hello World" program triggers the same alarm bells as launching a cyber attack. Avira, AVG, and Avast form an unholy trinity of false positives, treating your freshly compiled executable like it's ransomware written by a nation-state actor. Meanwhile, actual malware probably just walks right through because it doesn't have the audacity to be compiled on the same machine. The solution? Add your entire development folder to the exclusion list and pray your machine doesn't actually get infected while your antivirus is busy ignoring it. Welcome to Windows development, where your own computer doesn't trust you.
