bartekd Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Does anyone notice that any folder that has autoit script EXE's in it, takes forever to open? It seems like it takes a while, and freezes windows explorer for a minute or 2 (dpeneding on how many EXE's are in that folder that were created by autoit). I have tried this from a networked drive (Server) and off the local C drive, all the same. Also all the computers I tried this on, it was the same thing.

herewasplato Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I've seen this & I've always assumed it to be AV related. [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartekd Posted May 16, 2009 Author Share Posted May 16, 2009 Ah, antivirus, that makes sense. Is there any way around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SmOke_N Posted May 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2009 Ah, antivirus, that makes sense. Is there any way around it?Quit writing viruses? Try compiling without UPX compression and see if that helps. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Quit writing viruses? Try compiling without UPX compression and see if that helps.I have the same problem. With UPX it's an immediate Virus. Without, it still takes a long time to "check" each file.... You gotta love how the AV knows you wrote a virus before it's even released!!!...??? 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2009 bartekd, I get the same "slow-down" when opening any folder containing compressed files. I have always assumed it is the AV decompressing the files before scanning. As you have created the compiled .exes, you could add the relevant folders to your AV exclusion list - I do that when a new update to my AV decides that AutoIt is a virus. Your choice: have an AV and accept that its protection (of whatever level) has a certain price - or live without it.

Moderators SmOke_N Posted May 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) I'm going to assume we are talking about 3.3.0.0 ... I wonder if you changed the icon to something different or lower res when you compile if it would open faster... just a thought.
