Re: End task on (sample.exe)

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance




I think I have a little insight into the Sample End Task Problem.

I worked today with my district technologist because I was having the
same problem on my laptop. He started shutting down each individual
process and found a couple of files that began with QC. I remember one
was QCWilson but both happened to be connected with the McAfee Antivirus
software. He shut down the files and turned off the computer. The
Sample End Task box didn't pop up. He then uninstalled McAfee and
re-installed it and now I don't have that problem anymore. The
computer shuts down properly.

I hope this helps.

Hello all,

I have 2 XP Pro systems that have trouble shutting down. when I shut
them
down I get a popup that say I need to end task on sample.exe or
cancel,
and the PC's will not shut down unless you end the task. can anyone
tell
me what this is and how to resolve it. these machines are a new
client
machines and I checked the virus protection on both and they are up
to
date and I ran the stinger on both and it deleted a couple of Trojans
on
the first run and none on the second run (I ran the stinger in safe
mode).

Please and Thank you.
