Add exception to this folder or the DLL in antivirus.

Thanks,

Hello @ChatChat

Add the folder or files to the exception list in McAfee to exclude them from the scan.
See this link for how to do it:

Hi @ChatChat

When McAfee or any other antivirus software blocks a DLL file, it can disrupt the normal operation of applications that rely on that file. In UiPath, if McAfee blocks the globalvariables.dll file or any other critical files, it could affect the execution of your automation workflows. Here’s how you can address this issue:

Steps to Resolve McAfee Blocking Issues

  1. Verify the Blocked File
    Check Logs: Look at the McAfee logs to confirm which file is being blocked and the reason for it.
    File Location: Ensure that the file path (C:\Users\chatchat.local.globalvariables.tmp) is correct and check if this is a temporary directory used by UiPath.
  2. Add an Exception in McAfee
    Open McAfee: Launch the McAfee security application.

Navigate to Settings: Go to the settings or configuration section where you can manage exceptions or exclusions.

Add Exception:

File Path: Add the specific path of the blocked DLL file (C:\Users\chatchat.local.globalvariables.tmp\globalvariables.dll).
Directory: You might also need to add the entire directory (C:\Users\chatchat.local.globalvariables.tmp) to the exceptions list to prevent similar issues with other files.

Dear All,

Thanks for your solution. Just curious that McAfee blocked the DLL. Eventually, it blocked the DLL generated by the process. So, I need to add the exception every time as I cannot find the setting to exclude the directory.

@ChatChat,

Exclude the higher level directory like UiPath folder inside Documents which contains all the projects. This way you don’t need to exclude folder for every process.
