Hi,
I installed seadrive 2.05 on win 10 PC with Avast free edition.
At system boot, an error message telling its’ impossioble to find seadrive process
Launching the programm leads to this message
seadrive.exe is dropped due to suspect IDP.Generic
@Jonathan, any idea ?
Regards,
Gautier

@Jonathan @rdb is there any way to remove the account ? Reinstalling Seadrive does not help
Hi,
I finally uninstalled seadrive, dropped user acccount and reinstalled seadrive,
It works well with Kaspersky
But avp.exe is 35 % UC and Kaspersky > 8O% , to be supervized…
If i stop Seadrive, Kaspersky is still at 80%, so it seems it has no link to seadrive.
Starting seadrive shows that both programs share the UC correctly
Regards
Antivirus software are necessary, but they are a real nightmare for software developers…
Yes, more often when they scan files that do not really exists on the system, as on seadrive case 
The error message means seadrive.exe doesn’t start normally.
With SeaDrive 2.0, at least the anti-virus software won’t download many files from the server. But as the file names exists in local file system, anti-virus software will still scan them. So is for Windows search indexing.
On another computer, i managed to make an exception on Avast for seadrive.exe
@Jonathan It also occured. I had to start it manually
next automatic start is ok
Thanks
Hello,
Avast also considers seaf-daemon.exe to be a ransomware… 
It took me some time to figure this out, while helping a customer who only had a partial sync due to this problem.
This antivirus software is a nasty piece of 
and it is not the first time I catch it blocking third party software (like our own online backup solution…).
Be sure not to use Avast anymore, it will solve the problem !
(I am not sure that it is the best place to share this information, but I was not sure either that it was worth starting a new thread)
Hi all,
i had some telephone calls last week with the Avast Support Team and they were really helpful. I can agree with @RomainC that the ransomware protection seems to be the problem (add Seafile to exceptions will help). This feature seems to only exist in end-user software and not the business parts of Avast AntiVirus.
There is a support ticket opened and the Avast Team will check this issue.
We’ve also applied to Avast File whitelisting and already uploaded both Sync & Drive Client. I hope this will help.
Great, thanks for you action @marcusm !
We do work on the whitelisting for our own backup software and it’s a long and difficult path… Some editor are willing to help, some others don’t care.
I hope it will work !
