AIR captive desktop app running on a write protected USB stick

Question

Hi,running a flash CS6 created captive desktop app (AIR 18.0.0.199) from a write protected USB stick on Win8 and Win10 results in error dialog boxes poping up (~translated message: "The device is write protected and data can not be written.").The app does not write any data.The error dialog boxes pop up each time the app loads a swf. You have to press continue to keep the app running. Boxes appear each time a swf is loaded, but only the first time for each swf loaded.The app runs from on same stick on Win7 or if copied to a CD without any error message poping up.Any idea? Is there maybe a caching mechanism active which fails on a write protected stick?Klaus

The Air app itself nor the operating system was not responsible for this malfunction.

The dialog boxes are generated by security software Avira Pro with enabled real-time-scanner.

The app is able to run without problems in combination with some other security software on write protected USB sticks without problems.
