Circular file references not allowed

Question

I am having a problem in building my solution in VS2008. Normally, it compiles fine in the environment. Sometimes, it fails with:

/xxx_WEB/secure/CMSManagedT

For those of you who like me have been going round and round with this issue. I believe I may have another solution is all else fails. We had this issue with an MVC application and we spent several weeks attempting the various suggestions to no avail.

What we found out was that we are running McAfee Virus scanner V 8.0. we found that when we disable the On-Access Scanner From the VirusScan Console we were able to build and Debug without issue.

The only thing is that when this setting it disabled It will automatically re-enable itself every 15 mins.

I felt that this was worth sharing..

Thanks, Dean

Edit: This works only if you have local admin access to your machine. From a security standpoint there is valid concerns about turning AV scanners off (rightfully so). In fact if your on a work environment that is controlled by a net admin you may even get push back from them. I'm sure there is another way to do this but for now this seems to work for us but if I find another workaround (that is net admin friendly) I will share here.
