Notes:
- The process MsMpEng.exe restarts itself seconds after being killed. If anyone knows a way to stop it for good, temporarely, without uninstalling please email me.
- Windows Defender is not known to cause any installation problems with SolidWorks specifically but I still recommend shuting it down.
- Windows Defender is known to severerly affect (BSoD's) the instalation of McAfee(R) VirusScan Enterprise 8.0.0 and it's Service Packs. If however if the process is killed prior to installing everything is fine.
All of these processes should be killed before loading SolidWorks or updating a Service Pack. These are the processes I have found to be associated with this specific version of this application. All the processes here might not be running and there may be additional processes that are running depending on what options are chosen in the application.
If you have this same software but a different version and find that the processes names are the same or different or have any additional information to contribute please leave a comment on this message for the benefit of the group.
If you have software that is not listed in the blog and would like it added, you can email me directly at paul.niedfeldt@gxsc.com please put "SolidNotes - ANTIVIRUS" in the subject line.
