Synchronization Application error messages

What is the Synchronization Application and are others getting frequent errors of the Synchronization Application after installing the latest version of Internet Security? I have a Dell E5510 running Windows XP SP3 Media Edition. Turning off Netguard has stopped the Service Host errors from repeatedly popping up, but I still get Synchronization errors once or twice a day.

I will get a screen capture the next time it pops up. In the meantime, can someone explain what the Synchronization Application is? How compromised am I if this application is closing every day?

Yes, other people are getting this error.  I was receiving this error at least 6 times a day until I contacted tech support.  They took over my computer and after about 2 hrs the program will not even run.  Of course it's a microsoft issue and since xp is no longer supported, I will need to get another virus program elsewhere.  All the other programs on my computer run without problems, but mcafee will not.  And by the way, I purchased a three year paid subscription for 3 computers.

Re: Synchronization Application error messages

Hi, i have the same problema with win xp sp3, the synchronization error, repeat every day several times. So, for what adgraham said , it is or not a windows problem, that can´t be resolved for McAfee

¿Could you, please, say it clear to it, if it is or not the case?

Thank you very much,

Joseph
