Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172786 Accesses my floppy drive when using INPUT_FILTER It happens to me all the time (Doxygen 1.4.2, Windows 98SE). It happened in Doxygen 1.3.x too. However, Dimitri sees no sign of it. If there really is a virus scanner, virus, spyware or whatever causing this, I don't see why it would be singling out this opportunity. How many of you people are bitten by the same bug, and under which OS versions? Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox.

Try turning off all the virus protection utilities on your system like Norton etc.It would seem a strange coincidence if Norton and McAfee both have the same bug here. But having experimented a bit, it happens when the 'Scan floppies on' 'Access' option is set. So obviously the essence of the bug is that McAfee somehow thinks the floppy is being accessed for no apparent reason. So I guess it's down to finding out which API Doxygen uses to launch the filter program, and if there's an alternative. (What does Doxywizard use to launch Doxygen, for that matter? Indeed, what do things like make and the very command prompt use?) Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox. Please keep replies on the 'group where everyone may benefit.

I found in the end that Doxygen is indeed using popen and pclose, and by a simple test program that this method is triggering the McAfee bug. OTOH CreateProcess doesn't trigger it - so maybe Doxygen could be changed to use that. Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox.
