Vipre Internet Security 2012 Causes Whole System to Hang
I have Vipre Internet Security 2012 installed on both of my PCs. On both, the service used by the antivirus software causes my system to hang. SBAMSvc.exe received an error, and it takes 10-30 minutes for any action I take to actually result in an outcome. For instance, I click on Start Menu, and the menu does not show up for about 10 minutes.
The question I have is: is there an easy way to stop the service? I run as a standard user as I was told it is more secure to do so, so I am not able to just shut down Vipre. I also find it impossible to run task manager and click "Show processes from all users" to get administrative priviliges before opening the Services tab to stop the service. When I try this method, I never receive the dialog to enter the administrative password.
Any ideas on how to stop a service running as a standard user? Maybe a batch file solution where the batch file is always run as administrator?
