I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials. What I did was as follows:
1. Double click the MSE icon in the system tray.
2. Go to the "Settings" tab.
3. Select the "Excluded files and locations" item.
4. Add both the Calibre folder and the "calibre.exe" application to the list of exclusions.

If anyone can advise what else needs doing to solve this problem I'd be grateful.

Thanks.
It may or may not be related to your Calibre problem (probably is not...) but do yourself a BIG favor and get a better antivirus solution. MSE was pretty good a few years ago, but MS has stopped emphasizing it and it has become no better than mediocre. You can find much better free antivirus easily (look at the reviews in PC Magazine, etc.)
