Virus Control.dll crashes Ableton Live 10.0.5 on Windows 10

  • Since I updated Ableton Live to 10.0.5, I've been having random issues with crashes. I initially thought it was caused by a plugin. but looking into the debug dump from Ableton, it appears it's the Virus Control.dll that's the cause of this. The error-message is:

    In Live_10.0.5_2018-10-18_8aeadb1597_2019_02_01__17_01_09.dmp the assembly instruction at Virus_Control!VSTPluginMainPocketRocket+81e4 in C:\Program Files\Access Music\Virus TI\Common\Virus Control.dll from Kemper GmbH has caused an access violation exception (0xC0000005) when trying to read from memory location 0x8382a000 on thread 0


    ??

  • So it would seem I fixed this issue by simply deactivating the Virus Audio device in the Device Manager in Windows. I wasn't using the TI as an audio device anyway, and now there's no crashing and on top of that THERE'S NO MORE SYNCING ISSUES!
