I didn't document this and I am not 100% sure which "order" the programs
started in, but I recently had a similar problem and I changed either
the order the fsecure related programs were started in msconfig or I
removed "others" that were starting in front of the fsecure programs....
I didn't even think about this thread when it happened or I would have
noticed more and remembered exactly what I did. sorry :\ but it's a
start.
