Razzak, Thank you for outlining the files that need to be addressed. I have for years (we have outside IT people) tried to get these areas addressed. I have always mentioned the RX1-4 files.
However, since I am not an IT person, I did not know all the specifics. Yesterday was the first time our IT people cared for the server side of RBASE files. As you mentioned that is where the RX1-4 files are located. I forwarded your email to the IT people with the hopes they will address all three areas.

Mike, That's so true! I have NEVER used any AV on all my Sony Vaio and Lenovo Helix Notebooks/Tablet PCs running MS Window 7 (64) Professional and MS Windows 8.1 (64) Professional. Having said that ... Client and server computers may have one or more anti-virus, anti-malware, and/or anti-spyware utilities installed. If R:BASE itself is scanned each time it is launched, and the contents of the database and temporary files are halted and scanned each time they are created/accessed, users will see much slower response times when running R:BASE, making connections, and accessing the files. When using any security-based software, it is important to add exceptions to three areas of the R:BASE program: R:BASE Program Executable ------------------------- For R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32), the executable name is RBG95_32.exe. The default folder where it is installed is "C:\RBTI\RBG95_32". For R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64), the executable name is RBG95_64.exe. The default folder where it is installed is "C:\RBTI\RBG95_64". Database Files -------------- For R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32), the database files are the four .RB1, .RB2, .RB3, and .RB4 files. For R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (64), the database files are the four .RX1, .RX2, .RX3, and .RX4 files. For R:BASE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, the database files are the four .xxx, .xxx, .xxx, and .xxx files. Oooooops:) Although wildcard may be accepted, adding each file extension individually as an exception may be more appropriate. Temporary Scratch Files ----------------------- When R:BASE is launched, it will create three .$$$ temporary files. After performing certain actions, additional files may be created, and the existing files will increase and decrease in size. Add the *.$$$ files as an exception. Very Best Regards, Razzak.
