Even worse: In many cases, just adding exceptions is not enough. In many
cases, BLODA (especially Antivirus) has to be uninstalled. Although not
active in the directory, or even when the services are disabled, many
Antivirus software programs still interfere.

Well, the Antivir programs do not only interfere with Cygwin. However,
Cygwin is doing some tricks in order to perform its task, and these
tricks are more likely to fail with Antivirus programs active.
Furthermore, there are some (many?) programs that specifically
work-around problems with Antivirus software. For example, I know for
sure that SVN has some special code to handle a problem with some
Antivirus programs.
Best regards,
Spiro.
