Cabal Won't Launch or Start Because of Antivirus Program



Have you ever experienced a situation where your antivirus - such as ESET or Avast! - blocked Cabalmain.exe from launching?

Or the launcher showed a "Failed to download" error because, again, your antivirus detected the Cabal's .exe files as a computer threat?

A simple way to resolve the problem is to include the .exe files in your antivirus' Exclusion list or Excluded files list. You can place certain file paths in this list so your antivirus will not detect or block it.
Here are some screenshots of the ESET Node32 Antivirus (The Excluded Applications) and Avast! Antivirus (Automatic SandBox - Exclusion List) and you can place the Cabal.exe, Cabamain.exe and Update.exe files in the list.

ESET Node32 Antivirus (The Excluded Applications)


  1. Open ESET Nod32 antivirus and press F5 (note: im using nod32 antivirus 4)
  2. Expand "Protocol filtering"
  3. Click on "Excluded applications"
  4. Then check "Cabal Online (PH)\update.exe"  and to make sure, place all “.exe files” in this list.
  5. Click OK, then run Cabal launcher.

Avast! Antivirus (Exclusion List)

Avast! Antivirus (Exclusion List)

Make sure that your antivirus don't stop the Gameguard files from launching. Add the Cabal folder path to the Exclusion list in Avast Antivirus.
  1. Open Avast.
  2. Go to: Settings > General > Exclusions
  3. In the tab File Paths, click Browse... and select the Cabal Online PH folder.
  4. Click OK to confirm.
  5. Close the antivirus program.
  6. Open Cabal.
