I think you can cross Symantec's AV prog off the list bc I use
Avast and Symantec's never been installed on this sys.


Thanks for the data point, although we may have been seeing the same failure
symptoms but the cause was different. In our shop I've not seen the problem
systems *not* recover cleanly on the first reboot. This isn't a frequent
issue, but it happens frequently enough that I put the guidance into our
RightAnswers database.

And we have had a couple of incidents involving Symantic AV...not
necessarily the fault of SEP but it's got hooks in odd (and poorly
documented) corners of the system, and can step on *other* programs that
also hook into the kernel, such as Checkpoint FDE and Citrix XenDesktop.
