What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.409.61251

What subscription do you have?

free

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

Every time I open Codex app, the Kaspersky Antivirus (specifically Kaspersky Lab Launcher) starts to non stop drain 15-25% of CPU use at all times, even when Codex is idle and even when it's minimized to tray.

This does not happen with Antigravity, Opencode, VS Code - with or without docker/podman.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Install Kaspersky, open Codex, I guess.

What is the expected behavior?
