It depends on what AV software was installed. I know a few will allow
you to set up a "Do Not Disturb" type path in a registry setting that
you can either create manually, push down via GPO, or via an admin
console for the particular AV software.

Subject: Questions about File deletion avoidance in Windows platform

Hello All,

I have some security tools copied to the USB thumb drive for performing
security testing of a client machine. However, when I inserted my USB to
the client machine, the anti-virus software immediately removed my
software.

Is there any way that I can prevent the anti-virus software or any
software from removing my software from the USB thumb drive before
execution? Is there any way that can make the software become
read-only/execute-only tools on the Windows platform?

Please advise.

Thx.

Ricci
