I had silent gaming mode on. I turned it off and I got the pop up. I added the file to the scan exclusion list and then restored it. I then ran everquest and got the same error. Looked in the Virus chest and the .dll file was there.



Yea its excluded 13 times. I still get the same error mesage.

Well, it's probably one of three things. Either you excluded it only under settings and not file-system shields, you forgot to restore the .dll or you made an error in the file path for the exclusion.

That's all I did and mine is working fine, so it definitely works. That or my avast wants me to get a virus.

Ok just an FYI. This is apparently becoming an issue with anyone using Avast on P99. If you use Avast anti-virus i would suggest adding an exclude for dsetup.dll and repatching that file.

Just now had this problem, I guess came with the latest avast! update, perhaps?
Added exemption, restored file. Worked like a charm...except this one doesn't break at the worst possible time. Hurr hurr hurr :B

Anyway, thanks guys. Cheers!

The other option you can do if you can't the single file path added to exemptions is to go under the "Scan when executing" tab of the "Expert Settings" of the "File System Shield" tab in Avast, and deselect the "Scan libraries (DLLs) while loading" option, though this then takes protection off any program on your computer. Quick fix though.

just started having this issue as well, and so far excluding the file hasn't worked for some reason, will dig into it more when i get some more free time.

IF you're having a problem excluding the file on avast, Uninstall avast and grab the file from the latest P99 Patch.

When the message pops up that the file has been moved to the chest, you will have two options, one to exclude the .dll file from future scans, and one to report it as a false positive. Choose the first. Then open Avast user interface, go to Maintenance --> Virus Chest, right click on DSETUP.DLL and click restore.

Worked for me. I should have gotten a "You have gotten better at computers! (3)" message somehow. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
