The Network Administrator and I have been working on this all morning. Since about 7:00AM random machines on the Local Network have been slipping into and out of a random state of unresponsiveness ("Freezing"). The symptoms are pretty serious - I have seen it take up to 5 minutes to bring an already open window from the background to the foreground on client machines - and there are servers that are so unresponsive that I am not even able to log into them (enter Username and Password and nothing happens for the next 30min.). We have had to cold boot one server 3 times in the past hour! This problem is not specific to any user, profile, machine, OS, network switch, etc. - at least from what we have been able to Identify. So far it has affected Windows 7, XP and Server 2003. However, this issue is not affecting everyone on the network. My Colleague sitting right next to me has been having all kinds of trouble with his PC and I have not. We have found that cold booting the affected machines does help a little or at least for a while, but more often than not the machine will just return to its unresponsive state after a few minutes. On the machines that I have that are accessible I am attempting scan with Vipre. We are seriously starting to suspect that Vipre is doing something (in the background that we cant see) that is actually causing all this. We completely removed Vipre from one PC that was having trouble and it seemed to fix the problem. The PC has been running fine since.
