I'm having this issue with the latest 2.074 DMD.

When I create a program with DMD and bitdefender will delete that 
file and prevent writing that file again. I can go back to 
2.073.1 change the name of the executable to be written and the 
program will not get deleted.

Bitdefender is also removing rdmd.exe, dustmite.exe, dman.exe, 
ddemangle.exe after extracting the files from the 7z file.
