Maybe just a FAQ about list of virus scanner software thats has been
known to cause problems, the problem they cause, and their respective
workarounds.
Also, then, the list of the anti-virus software that is known (to the
best of users ability and until proven wrong) to not cause problems
would be helpful for people investigating setting up their dev
environment with path of least resistance.
I'll add Kaspersky 6.0.2 to the list of AVs that CAUSE problems :/
