We have it reproduced locally and see the behavior others are experiencing.
Many customers are screaming at us to “fix” this. Our Product Management is
currently working with McAfee to get them to add us to their list of safe
programs. This is the only solution possible for product already in the field,
which is a massive install base. Going forward it is also the best long term
solution for future releases.
Without asking to fix it… It was hard to reproduce? Is it something we can
avoid in the configuration? Other then not using mcafee, not using toad (sorry:)
or excluding Toad directories in the Mcafee scan?
Groetjes,
Wim

personally have not spent a great deal of time in trying, because for the great
majority of customers coming to us, they state explicitly that they do not have
permissions to alter their McAfee in any way shape or form. So any kind of
exclusion work-around, were we to even find one, which we haven’t, would not be
of help to them.
But it sounds like you have some control over it Wim, so I’ll continue to look
at it this morning to see if I can find any way around it
look for toad binaries

Well, isn’t this lovely. It’s no longer occurring.
I didn’t make any changes to my Toad configuration at all, in fact I was off
doing other work. When I came back to this, Toad is starting immediately.
Watching the McAfee process shows it to not be making the slightest blip when
Toad starts now - it remains at zero.
I’ve logged off, restarted my machine - nothing, no problem whatsoever.
Did you get an automatic McAfee update in between? Maybe your Product Management
people have done their job in excellent time!

That thought drifted through my head for about 10 milliseconds but if that were
true I’d have to go play the lottery today. : )
Mark,
Well, isn't this lovely. It's no longer occurring.
Just like my SQL Loader problem.
I didn't make any changes to my Toad configuration at all,
in fact I was off doing other work. When I came back to
this, Toad is starting immediately. Watching the McAfee
process shows it to not be making the slightest blip when
Toad starts now - it remains at zero.
Maybe McAfee has cached the fact that Toad passed muster when last
loaded and due to it not having changed has decided that it is not a
threat?
Possibly, if this is the case, on an update to McAfee (or Toad) the
delay will come back?
I've logged off, restarted my machine - nothing, no problem
whatsoever.
One of the people who reported this problem added an extract from the
logfile. It showed that McAfee was erroring out of the checks on Toad
and restarting immediately. The repeated a number of times and probably
led to the large delay.
(Sorry, I got distracted by work and now I can't remember the point I
was making here!)
Cheers,
