* Antivirus software interacts badly with the MS-Windows version of Emacs.
The usual manifestation of these problems is that subprocesses don't
work or even wedge the entire system. In particular, "M-x shell RET"
was reported to fail to work. But other commands also sometimes don't
work when an antivirus package is installed.
The solution is to switch the antivirus software to a less aggressive
mode (e.g., disable the ``auto-protect'' feature), or even uninstall
or disable it entirely.
