[R-pkg-devel] Internet security software?

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       What antivirus / internet security software do you use and 
recommend?


       I've used Bitdefender for years.  However, I've been encountering 
an increasing number of problems with software I've used for years.  
Some of my problems disappear when I turn off parts of Bitdefender.  
However, I've been unable to use RStudio on my Windows 7 computer since 
early last November.  Also, when I turn off certain features of 
Bitdefender, "R CMD build sos" (with sos cloned from 
"https://github.com/sbgraves237/sos") completes in a few minutes.  With 
Bitdefender configured normally, "R CMD build sos" stops without warning 
on "* creating vignettes".  I've left it for days like that without it 
moving beyond that point.  No error message but also no progress.


       Rather than doing a web search for alternative internet security 
software, I thought I'd ask you all:  If some of you have had similar 
problems with other antivirus / internet security software, I think I'd 
be more likely to hear it from you than from a web search.  Some of my 
problems may not be due to Bitdefender, but I know that some are, and 
Bitdefender tech support answers the phone but fails to fix these problems.


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
