Can’t safely remove any removable drive
It started after installing CAV on my machine , i just can’t get that functionality to work anymore.
The bug/issue
- What you did:
I did what I do with any flash drive when I’m done with it , I tried to safely remove it from my computer , using the default way - What actually happened or you actually saw:
A dialog message telling me that there is a program is still accessing the drive! - What you expected to happen or see:
I was expecting to be able to safely remove the drive without any problems !!! - How you tried to fix it & what happened:
well, I didn’t blame CAV in the first place so I tried unlocker.exe to see if there is any handles that I can unlock so that i can safely remove the drive , but there wasn’t , besides , I tried disabling CAV , D+ and FW with no success at all !! - If its an application compatibility problem have you tried the application fixes here?:
N\A - Details (exact version) of any application involved with download link:
has nothing to do with anything else other than CAV - Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen:
insert your flash drive and do your normal job with it , opening documents , copying or pasting , and when you are done , try to safely remove it! you will see the error. - Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons):
the reason is CAV because when I uninstalled it , the issue was gone with it

Your set-up
- CIS version, AV database version & configuration used:
stock settings - a) Have you updated (without uninstall) from CIS 3 or 4:
b) if so, have you tried a clean reinstall (without losing settings - if not please do)?:
No - a) Have you imported a config from a previous version of CIS:
b) if so, have U tried a standard config (without losing settings - if not please do)?:
No - Have you made any other major changes to the default config? (eg ticked ‘block all unknown requests’, other egs here.):
I did change some settings regarding D+ but it has nothing to do with it , since I did confirm that the major factor of this issue or let’s say " the problematic one " is CAV - Defense+, Sandbox, Firewall & AV security levels: D+= , Sandbox= , Firewall = , AV =
