Endpoint-security and antivirus scanning can affect Avanti performance and, in historical reports, process stability. If you suspect interference, inspect the security product's logs and policy before changing any protection. If the investigation confirms interference and your organization's security policy permits an exception, configure the narrowest available process or executable-path exception for the Avanti executable (dec.exe). Do not disable endpoint protection or broadly exclude the Avanti installation directory, data directories, or disk container files (.vdisk).
