Working with Antivirus Software

Working with Antivirus Software


If you have antivirus software running on your computer, these antivirus software may stop LAMU from running. Some antivirus software may quarantine the LAMU executables. In these cases, you may receive an error message that says File Not Found, or Permission Denied. 

It is important to keep your antivirus software running. Do not disable your antivirus software in order to run LAMU. Instead, you can tell your antivirus software to allow LAMU to run. 

In the event your antivirus software has quarantined the LAMU executable files, you can restore the files by following the instructions. 

Below are links to articles for the most common antivirus software. Please follow the instructions to restore LAMU executables if they have been quarantined and give permission for LAMU to run on your computer. 

There are two LAMU Executables that should be whitelisted. One is the StartLAMU.exe located at the root of LAMU drive. The other is LAMU.exe located in the LAMU\app\bin folder.
