Already discussed in another thread, update your Vipre defs.

Is anyone keeping track of the number of bad defs out of Sunbelt for this year 
alone?

Subject: Computers becoming unresponsive accross entire network.

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.

Any thoughts?
