Sivodsi Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 This is weird. Just started last night when I tried to open up CMSF. Immediately got a warning from AVG as per the picture below: Of course I click "heal" and "move to vault" but the same thing happens when I tried to start CMSF again. It won't let me start CMSF up. The other option that AVG gives is "remove threat as power user", but I haven't use that yet as another warning sign comes on saying that this could make my system unstable - need my computer for work as well, so not willing to do this yet. Can anybody help? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah, I'm getting that too. It's freaking annoying. Obviously it's a false negative - that file "lcmmfu.cpl" is part of the DRM. Oh DRM, how do I hate thee? Let me count the ways ... The only work around I've found so far (I've tried heal, ignore, vault, and remove as power user ... nothing worked) is to disable AVG, which is less than ideal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah, I'm getting that now too. I cannot play any eLicense games right now... errr!!!!!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thank goodness! Has anyone raised this point with AVG yet? Edit to add: I tried but my log in is screwed up. Will try again when I have time. [ June 19, 2008, 01:39 AM: Message edited by: Sivodsi ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 We have informed AVG (and eLicense already). The workaround for the moment is to exlude .cpl files from scannable files in your AVG configuration. I have used AVG myself in the past and the same thing happened with a common javascript library last year, causing virus warnings to pop up all across the internet. AVG acted quickly back then (less than a day). Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Ah! Beaten to it! Thanks Moon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Same think is happening to me. I got it working by excluding the C:\WINDOWS path from the AVG Resident Shield but I don't want to leave things this insecure so any further advice would be welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Please provide instructions. I have been screwing with AVG for the last 30 mins to no avail. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 In AVG 8 go to tools - advanced - Resident shield - advanced settings You will find a list of file types there which includes CPL among the "resident shield will scan" list. Delete it. It's easy enough, even I could do it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstantine Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks, that was indeed easy. I thought I had to add .cpl files somewhere as an exception, not remove it from a list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Seems to be working again, and I didn't change my resident shield settings so AVG must have fixed it already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
