EOS Utility Not Working!!!!

[brandon85]

When I start EOS Utility 2 it says that the camera connection app is already running. I tried restarting, I have uninstalled and reinstalled.  Nothing works.  It still says the same thing.  I also tried installing the newest EOS Utility and it still says the same thing.  EOS Utility 3 won't even start and EOS Utility 2 gives me the already running error.  I have looked in the task manager and nothing is running.  It worked just last week.  I do not understand it.  I am running Windows 8.1.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brandon

Adding the exceptions to AVG advanced settings worked well for me. But I did need to make exceptions for the three applications Eos Utility, Eos Utility 2, Eos Utility 3.

Thanks to Ebiggs1 & highlander69, before their advice I'd been struggling for about a month!

I'll have to add the other two programs to mine too..... maybe that's why I have to open it manually now?
