DeskCenter Issue with Anti-Malware

If you are getting the following error (as a Pop-Up or a Event in “Event Viewer”) on a DeskCenter Client, at time when inventory via SDIAgent is started:

Fehlgeschlagene Anwendung SDIService.exe, Version 10.6.7.3, fehlgeschlagenes Modul SDIService.exe, Version 10.6.7.3, Fehleradresse 0x004236d8.

Then most likely you are having a problem with your Anti-Malware Software, so make sure to whitelist all the directories needed, as stated in the official System Requirements.

I am sorry for not having an English version of this error, I will add it as soon as I come across it.
