Why do I receive an error message about "floating point support not loaded" when I use the LCC compiler in MATLAB?

When I try to use the LCC compiler in MATLAB, e.g. to compile a C-MEX S-function or to compile a C-MEX file, then I get the following error message and the build process aborts:

 runtime error R6002

 - floating point support not loaded

This error most likely appears due to a virus/malware infection of the LCC.exe file in your MATLAB installation. Use any antivirus software with recently updated definition files to scan your system.
