Recently my McAffee Antivirus program has been 'blocking buffer overflow'
problems in both my explorer and in my Windows Media Player.
I recieved a new update from microsoft today [June 11] and this corresponds
with this problem. After I clear McAffee's message I have problems like:
explorer freezing up, not being able to use the Properties item of the
context menu, not being able to close Explorer [the window disappears and it
leaves the Processes listbox in Task Manager, but if I restart Windows it
asks to End Now Explorer]
Windows Media Player simply won't play the file I request it to and then in
the same way as described above, won't shut down entirely.
I've checked McAffee for updates and performed a scan wihtout negative
results. I ran HiJackThis and examined all the entries - they all appear to
be from trusted sources. I can include a log file if requested.
The problem appears intermittent. I can't simulate the problem and so i
can't report how to make this problem happen. The first time I noticed it was
when I went to open an AVI file earlier tonight. As the AVI wasn't important,
after trying to load the AVI thru other software I have, I decided to delete
it. I then rebooted my computer, discovering the End Now problem with
Explorer and Win Media. I went on with my life... but in the process I needed
to open Explorer to view my folders and the problem came up again. But on
subsequent uses of Explorer had no problems. Then it happened again - I just
opened Explorer and the message came. That's when I decided to run Mcaffee
and then HiJackThis.. and write this question!
Hopefully someone out there will know what's going on.

Thanx for any thoughts...
