Problem with intel compilers and Sophos

Hi All,

This is a bit of a random question, but maybe someone can help.

I have the Intel FORTRAN 2016 compilers installed on Windows. Our corporate Virus Checker is SOPHOS. When I compile any code with LARGE STATIC ARRAYS the Virus checker detects a "threat" in the program and quarantines it! This only occurs for programs with large static arrays, in 32 bit AND 64 bit mode. There is nothing wrong with the binaries - they run fine on my home PC.

I appreciate this is a long shot, but any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

 

Gareth

A lot of antivirus programs are suspicious of newly created executables. What I often end up having to do is configure the AV program to not scan my "project" folders. It really has little to do with Fortran.
