I inquired of the Microsoft Technical Support about this problem. They said that using a simple retry mechanism is the effective workaround for this problem as in the article. But, they are not sure which is wrong the application or the virus checker because it depends on the situation. Which method do you think is better, to fix the JDK or to change the configuration of the virus checker?
