Up to 10 attachments (including images) can be used with a maximum of 3.0 MiB each and 30.0 MiB total.

Most virus programs do not delete files, they quarantine them. They also have a method of un-quarantining (restoring) a previously quarantined file.

If your antivirus program is interfering with your development by deleting or quarantining the executables that you build then you should see if you can exclude the folders that you use for development from the antivirus scanning.

Of course, you need to rebuild any project whose output has already been deleted or quarantined by the antivirus.
