    >.< opened my mouth too soon.. just got hit with it as well

    in case anyone is still having trouble with this, look under "Maintenance", go to the "Virus Chest", right-click the cabal file that is located there, restore(overwrite if prompted)[note you may need to attempt the restore twice to get it to work], click "Real-Time Shields" then the "File System Shield" menu under that. Click the "Expert Settings" button on the screen. Click "Exclusions" and browse for the file, find it, select it, click add, click ok and you're done

    Avast is bad. AVG/A-squared works fine. Go make a virus. Crpyt it. Upload it to http://scanner.novirusthanks.org/ and 9 times out of 10, Avast never detects it.

    And don't be stupid...please click "do not distribute the sample."

    Avast! Anti-Virus could be the problem.
    Cabal does in fact contain a harmless virus and as you know Avast blocks ALL virus's if their detected.

    I've had the same problem and the only thing you have to do is open Avast > Maintenance > Virus Chest
    Look for CabalMain.exe > Right Click > Restore

    That should work that's what I did and Cabal is working just fine now but keep in mind that you may have to do the same process for future use.
