Kaspersky Antivirus Deleting ACE dlls

[SPC (Ret) Wardlaw]

Today a new kaspersky antivirus update detects ace_fcs.dll as Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Sysn.bgyq.   I believe this is a false-positive, however if you are finding you are getting the missing ace dll error and can't get on the servers do the following.

Open settings:


Select Additional:


Threats and Exclusions:


Configure Exclusions:


Add a new exclusion:


Select the file you wish to exclude from antivirus scanning.  I chose my entire steam folder, you can just do the .dll that is causing the issue.  Ensure you have the object name set as Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Sysn.bgyq

Click add and you should be good to go.

Add the dll back to the @ACE folder, restart Kaspersky and you should be able to continue without having Kaspersky deleting the DLL.
Hope this helps
