[WinPartners] Viruscan 8 trouble with new Dell security software.

[Philip R Thompson]

FYI,
We just bought a Dell Latitude 620 with Dell installed Embassy Trust 
Suite from Wave.com.  It is incompatible with MIT Viruscan8 (w/ patch 11).

The machine will come to a stop as soon as Viruscan tries to start its 
services.  The installation fails to finish and after forcing a reboot 
the machine comes to a stop again after logins.

To fix, you can do a "msconfig" in safe mode and disable McAfee's 
services, reboot, remove the Embassy Trust Suite and reinstall Virusscan.

This is based on the experience of one machine, so any further 
corroboration is welcome.  Of course, the McAfee site makes no mention 
of this.
