I have a brand new Dell Precision 390, hardware RAID 1, 2.4Gz dual core and 2 GB of ram. Has Windows XP SP2, Autopatched before connection to network, Office 04 (updated).
I went to install McAfee 8.0i Enterprise antivirus. Upon reboot, I received a 60 second Stutdown window saying Services.exe had terminated with code 1073741819. SVHost.exe also crashed along with several other system level programs. Restarting the unit several times either caused these errors to re-occur or the system just locked up.
I tried to quickly unistall McAfee to no avail. Then I tried Safe mode to uninstall but the Uninstall package was corrupt. In the end, I went to rstrui.exe (restore) in Safe mode and stepped the machine to pre-McAfee installation.
That fixed the problem but now I’m stuck without anti-virus. I’m tied to McAfee because of our site license.
I plan to take this to McAfee through our license maintenance agreement.
Has anyone come across this?
