Does or did have someone problem with debugger and antivirus? I had headache with cryptic error "Free heap block modified at after it was freed" everytime I debugged one application and as soon as I deactivated AVG AV then it mysteriously went away. I am somewhat puzzled by this behaviour. The idea to try deactivating AV didn't come from my head but from site that is added to this post.

EDIT:
I use XE7 with updates.

  1. Many AV products screw with other programs. Commonly seen problem in large address aware processes. Like the new Delphi IDE. Anyway, AVG is rubbish. The cure is worth than the disease. Replace it with a real AV product.

  2. David Heffernan Would love to use different AV but this issue is on my workstation that is managed by ours IT infrastructure guys. After I added exe of debugged application into exceptions it went away. I don't like this solution but for me it's currently the best.

  3. If you can create a sample demo from your app that AVG still screws up, you can submit it as false positive: https://secure.avg.com/submit-sample
