MacBook – Intempestive remote server/connection failed windows

macbook proNetworkremote-discvpn

I have the following connection failed message on OSX 10.12.4. I'm used to access to a distant hard drive through a VPN (Cisco Anyconnect), but I removed that connection and the vpn software about two months ago. Everything was fine until yesterday where that message always showing up.

I've been in touch with Apple customer support, but so far, they were not able to help. There is no trace of the former server in network system preferences, finder, etc.

By monitoring the console, I noted that I have the following logs when the error windows show up :

Regarding the logs, I checked in keychain if they were any references to the remote server, but I did not find anything. Would someone have an idea about how to solve the problem ?

Found the problem, if anyone has it. Bitdefender tries to follow old shortcut that I have pointing toward folders on the remote server. I don't know why suddenly it tries to follow those folders, but if you need to solve this problem :

  1. Open bitdefender
  2. Click on "Antivirus for Mac" in the menue
  3. Preference
  4. Exclusions
  5. Add the problematic folders, it should do the job
