Answer 1

With the advent of real-tiime scanning anti-virus, anti-malware and anti-anything software, we are seeing all sorts of issues with video editing, and not just with McAfee products, though more reports do seem to come in, regarding one, or another of their programs.
While video editing involves larger files, usually, than Image editing, the issues are very similar. Many of those real-time scanning programs will "lock" files on writes, and many of them on reads, as well, while doing a complete survey of the file(s). This can cause all sorts of issues, like program time-outs in Ps, or Premiere Pro (or PrElements).
With some, the "white-listing" that Pierre refers to can be done on certain file types, such as .PSD, .AVI, and others, that are not common carriers for evil code. Also, some will allow the white-listing of programs, which can then allow those programs to read/write to files as necessary, regardless of the file's type. It just depends on the exact anti-whatever program.
One option is to shut such software down, during editing sessions, BUT they should NOT multi-task with the Internet, e-mails, etc., while the protections are down.
Good luck,
