I'm a moron. I can't read the rules and I can't even SPAM these awesome forums properly!

I would suggest you get a new antivirus because you are failing at that, big time. That's the problem with some antiv's, they are so "secure" to the point that they are marking files that are not really harmful. That's what happened to me with Kaspersky. Got rid of it and transferred to Norton. I am not advertising this, it worked for me maybe it wouldn't for you. The point being, get rid of it and get a new one.

I know a good fix, get rid of McAfee. You are wasting your money by paying for an inferior product while there are so many out there that are free that are actually better. I would recommend Microsoft security essentials, or avs.

Cos I'm brain dead after fixing a bunch of McAfee's screwups.
Talking to "Technical Help" did nothing for my little gray cells.

Thanks for moving it to the correct place.

I've been running w/o in-line anti-vir for 2+ years. No problems/infections.

I do occasional (read: when I feel like it) full scans with malwarebytes stuff and the monthly msft MSRT release.

My only browser is Opera, my only PDF reader is Foxit, my email reader is Time& Chaos Intellect. I keep my systems and software up to date.

Boot from a UBCD4WIN DVD. Goto C:\ProgramFiles\Mcafee\DAT and remove the DAT Files
Copy the SVCHOST.EXE from the C:\i386 folder on the DVD to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

Reboot and dump McAfee and buy a decent Anti? - Maybe look at ESET ???

This worked for me on several PC's

One client called McAfee in India and they had him booting from the XP CD and reloading Windows.
I had to Ghost it and extract his files and redo XP from scratch

p.s. The nightlies worked just fine

Another fix if the PC will boot is the following:

cls
Copy /y c:\progra~1\common~1\mcafee\engine\oldengine\*.* c:\progra~1\common~1\mcafee\engine\
copy /y c:\windows\system32\dllcache\svchost.exe c:\windows\system32\
