COMM ONE FAQ-1254 
Windows Defender Deletes Files

Anti-Virus programs deleting files are a common problem and not unique to Comm One.  A program or file can mimic algorithms that some anti-virus programs use to identify a virus or a malicious piece of software.

While we don't run across this problem very often, some anti-virus programs see our software running at the same time every day and sending an email every day at the same time as a virus.  Usually, it's our email automation utility that runs at the same time each day and sends email reports that occasionally ends up looking suspicious to some anti-virus programs.  
     If this is happening on your Comm One System, you can get around this by adding our folder to the Exclusion list on your anti-virus software.  This will prevent the deletion of files and should keep your software running well.
