Re: right click "C" drive My Computer hangs

Thanks Chris H,

I run CA etrust with hourly updates via a redistribution server on our
network. I use Innoculate for realtime and VET for the scheduled scan that is
done each day. I have SP2 installed and have checked for spyware using
adaware and CWShredder. I have also turned of System Restore, restarted in
safe mode and run both anti-virus scans and adaware, both are clear.

Regards,
