Antivirus (AV) Problems
« on: December 19, 2013, 11:17:51 am »
We've seen a lot of problems caused by antivirus software.  For a number of years, I've just added them to the Weird and Wonderful thread.  But lately, it seems to be getting worse, so I'm starting this thread to document them separately.

Windows Defender
If you're using Windows 10 or above, Windows Defender is running and it must be configured to allow MC to run.  Please see Taming Windows Defender  Thanks to Awesome Donkey for his work on the thread!

JRiver recommends using only Windows Defender (aka Microsoft Defender) for antivirus protection on Win10.

Disabling the AV software is often not enough.  You must uninstall it to be sure that it isn't causing a problem.  If this test fixes the problem, then you know that the AV software must be configured to allow MC's operation.

AV software should not be checking media files in any case.

Webroot issues with video

With the upgrade to 104 I found that I could no longer play video in MC. Tried playing with the settings and an install and reinstall. No go with either. Then I shut down Webroot and videos played again. After launching Webroot I went into identity protection settings, application settings and selecting "protect" for all things JRiver, including an entry I had never seen before for a "lav" plugin. Sorry I can't remember more specifics on this entry as it's no longer listed in Webroot.

This is basically the same solution to the problem where you can't paste into MC after any MC update.

Perhaps maybe it's all just a coincidence and there's some other problem that prevented video playback but I figure I'd still report my situation here. Now to raise this issue with Webroot.

Gizmo won't connect
Kaspersky AV for Android prevents GIZMO from connecting to MC;
Connection succeeds when "Web Protection" is disabled in Kaspersky.

Symantec antivirus was the probable cause.

Just a heads up. Norton 360 has suddenly decided that JRShellExt.dll is a problem, and removed it from my system.

Naturally I have restored it. It was only rejected based on Reputation anyway, not for doing anything wrong.
