Rickbj Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Been running LOR for a couple of years (Ver 2.9.4). Tonight as I was getting back to finishing a sequence after a week away from working on this sequence, my AVG anti-virus tells me that file c:WINDOWSsystem32vbalDTab6.ocx is infected with a trojan horse Generic26AIZU.Only options are to place the file in a vault with no access, leave the file where it is but AVG will not let me access the file, or delete the file.I do have a copy of the LOR 2.9.4 install exe on my system as well as the license info when I bought the LOR software.If I do need to re-install the software, are there any special steps (like removing the LOR software first)?Is the file vbalDTab6.ocx an LOR file or is it a generic windows file?Where do I start? The good news is that my light show is running on my dedicated computer and the problem I am having is on the computer that I do my development work.Any help would be appreciated.Rick
Rickbj Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 I see others have had this problem also, I went to the AVG virus vault, restored the file, added the file to the exceptions list and LOR is now running. I did not need to reinstall LOR software.Rick
JimCanfield Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Ok, same exact thing I am dealing with. I am trying this right now. I am guessing you added this file to the exceptions: c:WINDOWSsystem32vbalDTab6.ocx
Rickbj Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Hi Jim, Yes, that is the file to add to the AVG exceptions list. Worked great for me - hope you have the same good luck. Let me know how it works out.Rick
JimCanfield Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Just letting everyone know, this works! I was up and running without a problem after I followed Rick's advice.
JimCanfield Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 As a follow up, I can run my shows but am unable to access the sequence editor, tells me the file is missing then I get the file in corrupted from AVG eventhough that file is under exceptions. Thankfully I dont need the sequencer right now. I think when I get my own computer I am NOT going to use AVG. As for me not being able to use the sequence editor, I am upgrading to S3 after this year is over.
Carl S Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I had the same thing happen tonight. The show worked fine but then I went to do some videos and boom it was corrupt. It is AVG anti virus software. I had to uninstall AVG, then I installed Microsoft Essentials, the downloaded LOR click on the repair and then everthing worked alright again.
