These Anti-Virus software below have the possibilities that CABAL Client will not run properly.

- NOD 32
- McAfee
- DrWeb
- BitDefender
- Panda
- Norman

If one of these Anti-Virus program is running on your system, we recommend you to add the folder (C:\Program Files\Cabal Online (US)\) to your Anti-Virus exception list.

It might have been quarantined, restore cabal files that were quarantined.

And about that list... I use ESET Smart Security 4 (NOD32 antivirus) and have no issues... But I also have Business Edition...

Did you guys mean Norton instead of Normon?

Why doesn't ESTsoft fix this problem for us like when we gotta do all this work when ESTsoft can fix it them self, after all it is their game and there problem they should fix its not are game we shouldn't have to fix problems that aren't from us.I run avast on-access scanner but it is password blocked so I cant access anything in it.I think it's ESTsofts problem they should look into, like i give ESTsoft a ton of credit for doing this but they gotta try and fix the little bugs PLEASE I want to get back into playing Cabal.

Even after I added an exception for Cabal, it would not start. I had to remove Avast, then un/re install Cabal and it started working again.

yea GM's except one idk where the exceptions is,two if its where where i thought it was u cant add the folder there, three CABALMAIN.EXE runs away back to quarentine or"does not exist", 4 ive tried everything else besides the fact of turning McAfee off (which is rlly dumb to do) so looks like im not playin ur game unless u fix it or it miracley starts, good job. *claps*

If you open the your anti-virus program, there should be a help menu or you can check on the web for instructions on how to add files and directories to the exclude list. I saw this thread and another about Avast and I thought I saw one for McAfee but I can't seem to find it.

adding to exceptions does nothing, still have problems with chrome and messenger, etc being shut down

Raven
04-11-2010, 06:58 PM
Chrome and messenger getting shutdown is most likely an issue with GameGuard... and I wouldn't be surprised if it depends on OS and such. Have you tried updating them, or just not starting them till after you start Cabal?

Just use your head to apply it towards CABALMAIN.EXE...

And for the person with KIS... It always asks you if what action you want to take before it does anything (Delete/Quarantine/Nothing)...

Ok so I don't understand this gameguard crap, I have been able to play the game without any problems until ESTSoft took over and changed the security system for the game. I have AVG but I have already added the folder to the exceptions list but it keeps saying that i have some sorta hacking program running...has anyone had the same problem as this? If so please explain how you fixed it.

fixed my problem! My firewall was causing Game Guard to go off, so i switched. My firewall was ZoneAlarm for those who want to know.

Actually, I have the most recent version of Nod32, and though I know from experience that previous versions of that program didn't agree with CABAL, I have yet to experience any problems.

is your internet really slow? because that's what happens if it is. now about the person who said something about "window closes when I try to run CABAL", this could be your answer:

Set all of your anti-virus junk so it does not run on start up and restart you computer.
Find the file named: "Cabal Main" within your CABAL Online (US) folder.
Right click it and create a short-cut to the desktop. Close the folder.

Right click the short-cut and select "properties" at the bottom.
You'll see the top line says: "Target" ["C:\Program Files (x86)\CABAL Online (US)\CabalMain.exe"]
*You're going to add "husky" to the end so it looks likes this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\CABAL Online (US)\CabalMain.exe" husky
Now click "apply" and start Cabal using the shortcut. It will bypass the highlight screen and go directly to login.

*The exact Cabal will differ depending on your OS and where you extracted it to, but just add "(space)husky" to the end of the directory.
If you are doing something wrong, it will deny your change so don't worry about screwing it up.

Also, if you do not have the latest Cabal update, you need to run Cabal normally (not with short-cut) and while anti-virus is off so you can
download the lastest updates. If you aren't sure if your updates are current, run Cabal with the short-cut and it will let you now via a message
saying: "Make sure you have the latest update" or something to that effect.

Kispersky is most infamous for this issue.

Ehm u can add to that list AVG too , and you should fix this , cause is really annoying for us players to have those kind of issues , we practically have to stay antivirus free cause Cabal is very special towards them ....

I agree AVG 2011 free edition is colliding with game guard. I only know how to disable it. I tried to put cabal on its exceptional list but it seems like i didn't not do it right. Can anyone guide me on how to set cabal files exceptional to the AVG program ? Pls have pictures if possible. Thanks. Best regard.

>>>>>FIXING ''AVG ANTI VIRUS COLLIDING WITH THE GAME RUNNING FILES" ERROR<<<<<<

After going through all the pain. I've figured out how to fix the freezing screen error related to AVG anti virus program ( NOTE: this applies only to AVG users )
Open AVG user interface >Tools > Advanced setting > Independent Protection > Allowed list > Click on "add" button
A window will pops out> click on the " ..." button > go to the folder where you installed Cabal ( prob in your "C" driver) > Cabal Online > GameGuard > Make all files visible by choosing "all files" in the bar " files of types".
choose one file that has tail ( .erl) and click open. Repeat the process until ALL those files( .erl) are added to your allowed list.Then finally click Apply or OK to finish.
for extra cautions you can also add cabal client and cabalmain to your list.
NOW Start Cabal again to check .
I'd recommend you to defragment and clean all drivers before you do the process above. This'd help your computer run faster.
Good Luck

Cabal is blocked by Norton 360, as well. We had to reinstall when I purchased a new pc for my kids at Christmas. It was blocked by Norton. We disabled Norton completely, reinstalled the client and cannot get Cabal to run on that pc. My bf keeps having an issue with GG, so, he uninstalled and reinstalled (w/ Norton disabled). Now, we have 2 pc's that cannot play Cabal!! What can we do to fix this issue?? Any suggestions????

why does we have to make exception in anti-virus for the cabal? that is our protection before the maintenance/patch doesn't have any problem. maybe other's right there maybe have a virus or something it was based on what others said. and how can other plays even me something bothering me if i will remove the cabal on the anti virus maybe it will get in my laptop, like what others experienced other option is not play cabal anymore.

It's not so much Cabal has a virus or trojan within it. In fact it is not Cabal at all, but GameGuard. Though GameGuard technically acts like a real trojan in how it monitors hardware and software even closing out programs and disabling macro mice and such. When Cabal starts, it calls in GameGuard as a child process with same privledges as the main Cabal program, most A/V heuristic AI's flag this as suspicious and thus you get these errors and such.

Personally, seeing as soon as they patch Cabal or GameGuard patches itself, within a week your bots and other "Macro" hackers are back spamming or botting areas, so with that in account, not gonna patrol the game channels, G.Ms need to just take GameGuard, Xtrap, and such and forget it as these monitoring programs are not effective without active G.M work to do the job properly. jmo though...
