This happens to me also, i think the problem is in VirusScan, this happens with
any executable, not only with djgpp's, so turn off the scanning for executing,
copying and renaming, only check for creating, because this is the usual way
the virus places in your computer, and it does not "pauses" your computer when
executing djgpp.
