Beware of Bitdefender AntiVirus Plus 2018.

It's new Safe Folders option silently disallowed GnuCash 2.6.21 from writing
to my Documents\GnuCash folder.

GnuCash showed error:

GnuCash could not obtain the lock for
file://C:\Users\username\Documents\GnuCash\2.6.21\xxxx\xxxx.gnucash

 

It was only by going into Bitdefender Notifications I found a notification
that this had happened, and then the notification only appeared 2 days after
it occurred.

 

I have raised GnuCash bug 795821 [1] to get the GnuCash error message
modified to also warn that an AntiVirus program may be a cause.
