Have you tried installing Microsoft UPHClean on every workstation? I'm in pretty much the same situation you are WRT the O/S and version for most of my machines, and I don't have any issues here... My guess is that 1) You may have a bunch of failing hard drives (possible, depending on the age of the machines, etc.) 2)SAV is causing the problem. We run Vipre Enterprise here and have not seen the issue.

Please understand my environment is not the most modern (we'll leave it at that) over the last week we have had several machines come up with corrupt local profiles all the machines in question do run AV software (SAV 9.0.338) All machines are XP sp3 + patches. this doesn't seem to be an issue of folks inadvertently downloading something (my own desktop has the same problem and I practice safe computing). I also have several NT 4.0 Workstations on the network and none of them have had the problem. I know this is a Sky high post but just looking for some brainstorming ideas as to what may be causing it. --Steve PS, sorry for the remedial question but I'm running out of ideas (and we are rebuilding machines at an alarming rate) ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
