The com.algomusic.max.MaxScore object hanging during instantiation

I'm on Windows and have the following issue: I tried to open a LiveScore device in Live but the application would never finish loading it. I then tried instantiating a com.algomusic.max.MaxScore instance in Max, but it also took ages (several minutes) for the process to finish. What gives?

This is most likely due to a malware scanner interfering with the instantiation process. The MaxScore object relies on several jar files located in "Max 7/Packages/MaxScore/java-classes/lib/". Jar files can be infected with malware (not ours though!!) and it takes time to inspect the hundreds of Java classes they are composed of. To prevent virus and malware scanners to slow down your work you will need to either turn them off or create exceptions for the particular jar files. Look for an option in the malware scanner's preferences .
