Both get even more unstable if you have an virus-scanner installed.
WebDrive and Teamdrive are NT-IFS (Internal File Systems) and
virus scanner use Filter Drivers which catch the read and write access
to the drive. It is very likely that this causes trouble. At least
with kaspersky anti virus.


I am not good in organizing, but one solution would be to
collect money to sponsor the development by a company or
a good developer who is specialized in writing NT-IFS. OK, I am
just dreaming, I think this will never happen.
