Setting up Exceptions with Least Risk - Signature vs Folders

[edit] clarify (why I did Signature vs Folder)

The Situation:

* I write code, and Anti-virus don't always love the code I write.

* Heuristic detection, "sometimes" thinks I just wrote a Virus or Virus like application.  

The issue w/ writing code on a box is you cannot just add a File ID exception and remove from Quarantine and let that UI (Quarantine) make an Exception by Restoring the file.  Why?  Because you might re-compile 100 times in a day while testing, and each is unique, so each gets Quarantined w/o any folder or Signature exception.

   From what I've been able to determine, setting up folder exceptions in "Items to Exclude from Auto-Protect, Script Control, SONAR and D.I.D." does not actually affect all the things that might scan for a Virus on a box w/ Norton Security.  So I added a Signature exception, but that feels REALLY unsafe, compared to a little unsafe.  I did this, because when I added an Exception for the folder that Microsoft Visual Studio (or other Code Studio) used as output, my files were still getting grabbed and it seemed to have no effect. 

I noticed for Ms VS, it's a 2 folder solution, one for Objects & a 2nd for your bin once linked, still seemed to not work.
Followed this for Signature Exception, I had seen the listing in Settings, I wasn't sure how it worked at first:

Does anyone know if there's a better way for getting the things we write to be ignored at the time of Compile, w/o adding a Signature to an exception list?

Can you run your work product from a folder and Exclude that folder Xs 2

I'm actually blow away, that on this last one, Heuristics picked up a Sudoku builder as a Virus ;)

Anyway, I actually did this at first, and I was still getting the "Auto-Protect" popup.  However I can double check it was  not an issue w/ Order of Operations.  Maybe I did just one, then added Signature exception, and the later added 2nd one once Sig was already in.  Could be User error.    :P

Let me check that again.    Thank you much,

I imagine if Norton detects with a Signature.  You may need to exclude that Signature.
