I use the same configuration and I have never seen that.
Is there a virus in your Windows system? Can you run a virus scan on your computer?

Anyway, I don't see it related to ESP32 Arduino.
Please demonstrate the issue more precisely in order to help us to fix it.

@Angelpoot2 - There is a similar discussion in https://forum.arduino.cc/t/about-esp32-i-need-help-thanks/1145461/2

I use Win11 with all Virus Protection/Verifciation options enabled + Arduino IDE 1.8.19.
I have used all the different ESP32 Arduino Core versions and I have never seen such issue.

thanks

It's actually not a problem with Windows. In general, the problem arises when compiling with the ESP32 board, since if I compile towards some other board without problem it compiles and only marks type writing errors: missing points and commas, an undeclared variable, etc., etc.
I have already run different scans on the computer and it does not have a virus, I have a slight suspicion that a library is causing the problem.

Please consider closing this issue.

It's going to turn out that this is some issue unique to your OS and combination of anti-virus (which has possibly been responsible for most lost productivity in the industry than real malware anyway) that is not a problem in arduino-esp32 or associated build systems, if it's even reproducible at all. You can see that users like SuGlider are unable to reproduce this issue as it's likely specific to your individual installation.

Minimizing the number of open issues helps reviewers focus on actual board/systems software issues impacting a variety of host OS combinations. It's common in software development to simply require excluding the object work area from your A/V completely as Windows A/V is notorious for freaking out over any combination of bytes that it's never seen before and building your own software - even when you're building a heavily developed package like this - is aways likely to result in a signature inside the files that it can't recognize and will then cry wolf. Just disable the platforom I/O work area from your A/V totally. It'll give a nice performance boost, too.

Thank you.

Closing as wontfix.

If you are experiencing this error. Try compiling without saving the file. I don't know why the error comes up once the file is saved on a PC. However, this trick worked for me. If someone has an explanation of why saving the file makes it impossible to compile the file, they could help us.
