File Lock Causes BEX64 Crash in Explorer.exe

Jump to solution

Hello all,

I got Total Protection 2013 back in June (umbrella'd in under my family's plan), and it's performed reliably with one exception--I've been experiencing Windows Explorer crashes due to File Lock's DLL being 'unloaded'. I've had this issue occuring intermittently since I installed Total Protection on my computer.

Typically, it would occur when I had two consecutive McAfee engine updates with no re-boot between them, but it has started occuring arbitrarily. My speculation was that it was related to issues with Explorer, but I've had nothing but clean scans since I installed Total Protection, and my computer is performing as it should. I'm running a Dell Inspiron N4110 with Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed.

This is an example of one of the crashes, copied over from the Reliability Monitor--

My questions are--

2. What is this typically connected to (i.e. Registry issues)?

3. What can I do to fix this?

We noticed this issue as well.  The problem could be caused by the update process. With new update mechanism, the reboot is not required after update. In case of File Lock, most of components is updated to new version, but the McPvNs.dll loaded by Explorer is still running in old version util the machine is rebooted. Please try to reboot your machine to see if the problem goes away.

BTW, a new version of File Lock will be released soon which fixed couple of crashes in Explorer.

Sorry not experienced with file lock as we mods do not use it. Best to call tech support and ask them and if they cannot assist request an escalation call back.

<Bump>

I've been having issues with McPvNs.dll unloading and then crashing Windows Explorer whenever logging cuts out lately, as opposed to the StackHash error discussed on the other thread. Any news on that FileLock update?
