Gummy Drop game program crashes because file read only from Kaspersky.

[rickcf]

I get this error many times when running this game program on my PC.  It appears Kaspersky is locking the data file.  It happens in batches, sometimes no issues then sometimes it will not run the program - just keeps locking the file with this message.  I check the permission and Kasp is allowing this program rights to run so not sure why.  Will also say this just started happening in the last 6 months - was fine for a year before that.  Not sure what changed.  If I disable Kasp then the program runs fine.
