I think it should be paket.processlock - just in case people have gitignore rules like paket.* (even if this file is not really important for git)

Files ending with *.locked extension are treated by McAfee as ransomware. It's not always easy to get the file to Whitelist (especially in big companies) and therefore it is much easier to simply rename the file causing troubles.
I renamed the file paket.locked to .processlock as suggested by @forki
