I read the post about killing the mcsysmon.exe process which then allows spybot to run fine. Which is great for me. But some of the home people that i help out won't find it so easy.
So what if... gotta love that "what if"
In McAfee...
Open SecurityCenter
Click on Internet & Network > configure
Under firewall Protection is enabled click advanced
Then click on program permissions> add allowed program.
Now if you add spybot will that stop mcsysmon.exe from hanging?
Here's my problem...when i browse for the spybotsd.exe file it doesn't exist in the program files\spybot directory. Windows search doesn't find it either.
When i check the target of the shortcut... yep thats where it points. Runs just fine. No spybotsd.exe.
What is going on?
The .exe's in the spybot folder are:
blindman
sddelfile
sdmain
sdwinsec
unins000
update
Am i going crazy?
My other idea is to create a batch file that will kill the mcsysmon process then fire open spybot.
There is a cool utility here

Personally i'd tell everyone to not use McAfee until they fix the problem... but comcast is giving it away. Tough to use a free AV when you can get a big boy for nothing.
Thoughts??? Comments??? Help???
