OK guys n gals
I have a small issue with about 50 windows 2k laptops running MCaffee VScan 4.51
On logon you get the VScan splash screen but then the machine hangs. VSHWIN32.exe process has hogged 99% processor power and you can't do anything.
Any ideas why this service is doing this???
Oh and i've been down the denormalisation route aswell
One work around is to boot in safe mode and remove the software, but this isn't viable on 3000 laptops
Cheers

Apparantly, it is a known issue and upgrading to IE6 fixes this. One of my mates has come across this and that fixed it when we had to test it for a problem client. Don't use it in house, so I cannot say, but he knows his stuff.

Hi, I have had this prob before.
are you using e-policy to push out ??
if so is it on sp1 for epolicy (4.5.1a)?
you will find that an uninstall of said clients & reinstall, via the epol manager (with service pack 1 for clients as well relevant engine) will fix.

IIRC, when they first brought out the 2000 version, it was not 2000 compatible only NT ...hence the release of sp1 for the clients, this enabled the client to pull the updates etc.
E-pol still could not push out to 2000 clients until you sp1 (which turned the release into 4.5.1a).
