Re: VolumeMonitorProtector

Hi Allwyn

Thanks for getting back to me. Answers below

Do you know or used Volume Monitor Protector application?

I don't know or use the application. However the McAfee notification says it is a Medium Threat, a system application and says it is not possible to delete.

The notification does gives me two options to Disable or Force Stop. I have selected Disable, but later in the day I'll get another notification telling me I have another VolumeMonitorProtector threat. This continues every day. Selecting Force Stop has doesn't change anything either. So every day I'm getting this notification, multiple time sometimes per day.

Are you able to delete the application when you try to do it.

No

Please provide us screenshots if possible.

I can't at present.

Thanks for your help, do you have any ideas?

Mark

Sorry ... it's called VolumeMonitorProvider (not Protector).

Re: VolumeMonitorProvider

Hi Allwyn - any update or thoughts why VolumeMonitorProvider is a threat? I get it reported by McAfee everyday and, because its a system file, there's no option to remove it. Nothing happens if I click disable, it still comes back as a new threat next day.

Hi, just received an email from Mcafee saying this problem was resolved, but it isn't, I'm still getting the same problem - please keep this problem open.
