impossible (I can't update it until the database is initialized, and that's exactly what it won't do)

Which program are you using?

I'm not quite sure, but I think there are viruses and worms out there that can disable some AV software when they infect a machine, and something like this is what I'd expect them to do.

Is it fsecure?

My mom and dads fsecure crapped out today and I do not know why.

They've had some problems with the updates lately. Last week the network in my school got totally fucked because F-Secure had some problem with the way the updated evrsion interacted with the server, especially logins.

Um, guys, not to sound paranoid, but you might want to take a look at this.

yeah it's F-secure Internet Security 2005 OEM 5.10

First thing you want to do is read any FAQs, news and known issue articles on the F-Secure site and proceed from there. I've never uysed that particular AV software, so I can't help you any further.

this just keeps on getting weirder, now the problem is gone with no trace of why it happend in first place.
