What to Do If the SecretFolder "Failed to ConnectToFilterDriver" Error Occurs
The SecretFolder program is not installing properly at the moment, so you will need to remove it manually in order to delete it completely. The steps are explained in detail below.
First, press the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard at the same time. A small input window called "Run" will then appear on the screen. Type "regedit" exactly into that window and press Enter to open the Registry Editor. The Registry Editor is a tool that can modify system settings, so please proceed carefully.
Once the Registry Editor is open, go to the following path in the tree on the left:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SecretFolder_is1
Find the "SecretFolder_is1" key at this location, right-click it, and select "Delete" to remove the key completely. This path is mainly used on 64-bit systems.
If you cannot find the "SecretFolder_is1" key in the path above, your system may be 32-bit, so please check the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SecretFolder_is1
At this location as well, find the "SecretFolder_is1" key, right-click it, and select "Delete" to remove it. This will clean up the registry entries related to SecretFolder.
Once the registry work is complete, you will need to delete the folder related to SecretFolder from the file system. First, open File Explorer and go to the following path:
%programfiles(x86)%\SecretFolder
This is usually the default installation path on a 64-bit system. %programfiles(x86)% typically refers to C:\Program Files (x86), and there should be a folder named "SecretFolder" there. Find that folder, right-click it, and select "Delete" to remove the folder and all files inside it completely.
If you cannot find the "SecretFolder" folder in the path above, your system may be 32-bit, so please check the following path:
%programfiles%\SecretFolder
This path, %programfiles%, usually refers to C:\Program Files. Here as well, find the "SecretFolder" folder, right-click it, and select "Delete" to remove the folder and all of its contents.
Once you complete all of the steps, the registry entries and files related to the SecretFolder program will be completely removed from your system. If you run into any issues during the process or have trouble finding the path, check whether you entered the path correctly or whether you are running with administrator privileges. By following this process, you can manually remove SecretFolder cleanly.

If Avast is installed, please disable the DeepScreen feature.
When users who use Avast antivirus install or update an OhSoft program such as oCam, the installation process may repeat several times. This is caused by Avast's 'DeepScreen' feature. Below is a detailed explanation of the cause of this issue and how to resolve it.
The DeepScreen feature is triggered when there is not enough reputation information about an executable file, which can cause a program such as oCam to be recognized as suspicious. OhSoft makes efforts to maintain compatibility with antivirus software, but in this case, even though the program is functioning normally, a situation can occur where a legitimate executable file that is not malicious is unable to install or update properly because of a specific antivirus feature. This is similar to a situation where a properly developed program causes inconvenience to users because of a false positive from antivirus software.
To resolve this issue, you need to disable Avast's DeepScreen feature. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to turn off the DeepScreen feature:
1. Go to the main screen of Avast antivirus.
2. Click the 'Settings' button on the left side of the screen.
3. When the Settings window opens, select the 'Antivirus' button from the menu on the left.
4. In the 'Antivirus' section, find the 'Enable DeepScreen' checkbox and clear it.
After changing the setting, confirm that it has been saved, then try installing or updating oCam again. Once the DeepScreen feature is disabled, the repeated installation issue is likely to be resolved. If the problem continues, you may also want to apply the latest Avast updates or contact OhSoft support.
