Visual Studio Cannot Run Project

1.5k views Asked by At

In VS Professional 2019 when I attempt to start my WPF Windows project with debugging I get an error message that says "Error while trying to run project. Access is Denied". Then McAfee LiveSafe AV pops up a message warning me that it's found "Real Protect-LS!B1465A32DC7D" virus and blocks the .EXE file in the debug folder.

When I use McAfee to "restore" the .EXE file, then scan the whole project folder; the AV says no viruses found. Other projects I'm working on are fine.

I found one SO article that suggests to turn on native debugging, but that made no difference. I searched Google for the virus name and most links talk about it as being a false positive.

Does anyone know how to fix this? My dev work has ground to a halt!
