There were several Data Protector - Visual Studio related similar reports on our old Community…my saved related pages = Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.
Usual comments as I recall were = developers need to create a work-product folder and exclude that folder from Norton 360 Scans x 2 & exclude related processes from Data Protector.
Maybe, Data Protector objects to .tmp files/unsigned .tmp files created by installer/program.
I’ve needed to temporary disable Data Protector when installing known safe programs.
