Antivirus Software Interaction
  • Many antivirus and Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) tools flag executables and prevent them from running. To avoid this problem, modify your security setting by adding exceptions for specific executables. This is configured in the antivirus tool. Contact the tool provider for assistance.
  • Many users run Libero SoC PolarFire successfully with no modification to their antivirus software. Microchip is aware of issues for some antivirus tool settings that occur when using Symantec, McAfee, Avira, Sophos, and Avast tools. The combination of operating system, antivirus tool version, and security settings all contribute to the end result. Depending on the environment, the operation of Libero SoC, ModelSim ME and/or Synplify Pro ME may or may not be affected.
  • All public releases of Libero software are tested with several antivirus tools before they are released to ensure that they are not infected. In addition, the Microchip software development and testing environment is also protected by antivirus tools and other security measures.
