Ano Ano Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hello, Avast mistook nipalu.dll as a malicius file and deleted it! Is there anyone out there running Labview version 10 to send (upload in this post) this file? Otherwise I have to reinstall Labview! Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment
vekkuli Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Same here. I have LV2013 and Avast2014, can't even seem to find a way to restore the file, it's not in the "virus chest" at least. Quote Link to comment
MikeC3 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ah, the old anti-virus vs LabVIEW battle strikes again. I once had to run around the lab from machine to machine, unplugging each from the network. An automatic definition update was marking LabVIEW DSC as malicious and deleting it. I managed to save at least one system and could use it as a source for the missing files. Make sure you resolve the issue in the anti-virus (add the file to the white list or something similar) before trying to restore. Otherwise it will keep deleting it. Quote Link to comment
hooovahh Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Do a repair install of LabVEW (or DSC). Go to Add Remove Programs, choose NI and modify it. Then a menu will come up with all the NI software installed. Choose LabVIEW and click repair. This will reinstall all the files needed to run LabVIEW. Note that you will need the LabVIEW CD/DVD as a source. Quote Link to comment
Wire Warrior Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Has this occurence been reported to NI? They might be able to work with Avast on this. Wire Warrior Quote Link to comment
Mr Mike Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Just to let everyone know, I've notified a few people at NI about the problem. I'm not sure who to contact within NI, but I contacted people who probably know who to contact. Mike B National Instruments R&D 1 Quote Link to comment
