lapasoa Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Thanks. I've unistalled Avast Free Antivirus ( with a lot of effort). But the thing persists. I have to say that this thing appeared after a Windows update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 What he said. You should only have 3 or 4 scan paths so just go to them and look and delete it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paths should only contain VST2/3 dlls and the minimum amount of supporting files possible. Asking the scanner to evaluate random dlls is a bad idea.

lapasoa Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 After unistalling Avast Antivirus, I've installed a new antivirus and after that CbB VST scan runned smoothly. I can not understand why CbB suddenly scanned my antivirus that I own from 5 years. Mistery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timboalogo Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Off topic but make sure that with your new antivirus that you exclude the locations of your virtual instruments and plugins (i.e. C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins and so on). Speeds up my project loading time anyway. Timbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also exclude your Cakewalk Projects folder so that it doesn't scan your audio files in real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 What would be the reason in not scanning a folder as malware including viruses could be planted/hidden anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapasoa Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 I've excluded C:/ProgramFiles\Cakewalk\VStplugins from antivirus scan. All right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I've always whitelisted the entire \program files\cakewalk tree, as well as \program files\common files\vst3, all of my virtual instruments and project folders. I also have general exclusions for all audio file types regardless of where they live. You'd think an AV program would be smart enough to skip all those wav files in my sample libraries, but not all do. Your computer may have other locations that need to be excluded but that you've never thought about or didn't even know existed. For example, I had to whitelist the Celemony folder under \users\davet\documents. I don't remember exactly why I did that, but it appears to be a repository of temporary Melodyne files. I'm curious as to how an Avast file got dropped into your VST folder in the first place. That seems like a weird place for its installer to choose. I have seen DLLs in my VST tree that aren't scannable, e.g. some Adobe Audition effects, and Waves files that are dependencies but not themselves VSTs. All of those can be disabled in the scanner's own exclusion list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapasoa Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I agree with you bitflipper. In fact the funniest and strangest thing is that I owned Avast free antivirus for a long time and never appeared to interfere with Cakewalk VST scanning. As I said at the beginning this issue appeared after a Windows update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 You mean it wasn't caused by the latest cbb update? ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
