The antivirus always was --and is-- the most common problem, and in general

terms the solution is adding the VFP extensions for exclusion of the

analisys, because the AV can cause not only corruption, but slowness to.

As an example, latest versions of Symantec Antivirus scans ALL files (DBF,

CDX, TXT, FPT, ..... you get the idea) and sometimes the corruption is

caused because VFP can't update some of the bundle DBF/FPT/CDX because the

AV is scanning it, and it can take the necessary time to cause some errors

in the lan packets or the communication layer that end with data corruption.

Have seen this many times in many years, from Windows Server 2003 up what I

can remember.
