title: C++ code conflicts with Antivirus/VPN and freezes/crashes computer
body: <p>I've written a code that utilizes OpenMPI for a message passing interface. However, when I run the code, it freezes everything on my computer except for my mouse and the only fix is a forced restart or a shut down. </p>
  
  <p>I'm running the code from WSL and when I don't have my antivirus (Symantec Endpoint Protection) on, it will run just fine. The issue is, I need SEP to get onto the VPN I need for work. </p>
  
  <p>I've tried running WSL as an admin and I'd try using other antivirus but SEP is the one I need for the VPN. Is this a common issue with MPI? Is there a way I can work around this without having to disable my firewall everytime I want to run the code? </p>
  
  <p>I apologize if this is to vague and will gladly post any other information that may be useful. I'm just not sure what may be useful for right now. </p>
