Actually, we discoved that this is one of the few machines in the LAN
that do not have Spysweeper installed.

We discovered that LogMeIn was installed, so I uninstalled it and we
will see what effect it has.

Symantec Anti-Virus is a possibility, but the person who manages the
network here is not willing to disable or uninstall it at this point.
FWIW, there's is nothing "interesting" in the SAV Histories.

As I said in other posts you have to uninstall at least all "security"
software and better yet try it on a "virgin" machine. If your IT
moro^H^H^H^H person doesn't want to do it you will have to try it on your
own box he doesn't control or VMWare. As a bonus if everything works there
you will have a pretty good reason to drop Symantec's crap. ;-)

AV and other "security" products work by inserting filters and hooks into
normal Windows kernel and user-mode operation.Theoretically this can be done
safely but in practice the people who do this stuff usually end up breaking
something. I've seen it many times myself (especially with Symantec
products) and according to other posts here and in programmers'kernel I am
definitely not the only one.
