I enabled McAfee scheduler,and changed a user's profile group. After doing this the screen locked up and it would then flicker really fast and scroll the open windows. Rebooted system to have the screen constantly scroll. Later found out that the server share for the mapping had been changed to an FTP site. There were user accounts that were no longer on the system. What happened? Was this due to the machine trying to find the access point to the wrong site?

Due to the way AV software works, many replace the WinSock file and other networking files with versions they 'trust'. They delete access points due to the uninstallation of the WinSock. Re-install the WinSock files, available (v2) from the Microsoft web (download.microsoft.com).
