Anti-Virus software can cause errors in DBISAM the database IQ uses
Many types of anti-virus software can cause problems with DBISAM, the database that IQ uses, specifically concerning temporary tables created by DBISAM in a temporary files folder on a local drive.
The real-time scanning features of some anti-virus applications usually deem any file created with the extension of .dat (the default DBISAM file extension for tables) in the temporary files folder as needing to be scanned and quarantined, and this can cause two errors to occur:
We recommend using ESET Anti-Virus; however, you are welcome to use an alternative Anti-Virus solution.
Please ensure that the following file extensions or tables are excluded from real-time scanning:
*.dat
*.idx
*.blb
*.dbk
*.ibk
*.bbk
