Java and anti-virus is a pain.
The Java run-time is north of 50MB, and EVERY time you load it from disk the AV on-demand scanning kicks in.
So I have decided to exclude the Java folders from AV on-demand scanning.
Since the Java package is scanned on download and on installation and is scanned as part of the daily scan - why scan it every time it's opened?
It does help. Not nearly so much as a dual-core processor, though!
The great selling point of Java is its portability - truly platform-agnostic.
Yep, runs like a dog on everything!
