On Windows, antivirus tools can and often do "bad things". In particular, they will open a newly created file and lock it while scanning that file. This prevents the software using that file from writing to that file again and from removing/renaming that file, typically with "Permission is denied" exceptions, making it appear as if like the user does not have access rights to their own files.
Windows Defender also causes performance problems because scanning is done repeatedly, e.g., each time you launch Eclipse apparently all the jars are scanned:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=548443#c28
This is why it's recommended to exclude the folder of the Eclipse installation from being scanned in the comment above. In general excluding the folder's <home>/.eclipse (where shared information is stored) ,<home>/.p2 (where the installer's shared bundle pool is managed), and the folder <home>/eclipse (where the installer creates all the installations by default), and the workspace folders will prevent such locking/access problems and will improve performance.
