I just updated my AE beta (Nov 14) and now it's unable to open. 
dvastorage.dll not found. 
I can not Copy paste any dll file in the support files folder because it's requesting admin rights. Even my IT admin doesn't seem to have admin rights for this folder.

the latest version (build 37) solved the problem here 🙂 
My bitdefender is activated.
Thank you

I chatted to Adobe and they said talk to Bitdefender people.

I uninstalled Bitdefender totally, and used AVG and the beta works now. Bit of a risk, but seems OK.

So it looks like a false positive on their part.

Same here with Medfia Encoder. I disable BitDefender, but is not right solution. Adobe, please help !!!

Hmm - can't even see AE Beta on Creative Cloud any more, not sure if it's been pulled?

I'm getting the same thing. Hopefully we can get a quick answer on this soon.

Bitdefender is reporting that dvastorage.dll is infected with Gen:Variant.Tedy.806229 and was moved to quarantine, not sure if it's a false positive or not?

Same here - Bitdefender flagged up a warning on that particular file, and any reinstall/install fails

The latest AE Beta 26.0x34 should be available on CCD. Can you please update to the latest and see if that resolves the issue?

edit: 
after installing the beta the file is in the right folder - then i start the app and the file disappears
