& yes this is the full version with liscence & it has a protection module and website blocking as well...it is enabled to start when windows starts.
Then that is the cause as I thought. The message says
Object being scanned = \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\Common
Files\McAfee\SystemCore\mfeapfa.dll
by C:\Program
Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe
Malwarebytes and Virusscan tried to scan the same file Disable the MB real time scanning and see if you still have the issue after a reboot. Having 2 real time scanners active will clash.
TY Peacekeeper..that indeed was the problem...i disabled the MalwareBytes program and was able to have full functionality of the New McAfee Total Protection....so now i will just do a manual scan when i need to with Malware. I appreciate the help.
Nice to have an easy solution for a change
In my case, the message is:
Object being scanned = \Device\HarddiskVolume1\Program Files\McAfee.com\Agent\mcupdate.exe
by System
However, I do have Malwarebytes, so I'll try disabling it to see if that's a good workaround. The messages were alarming at first, but when the whole system locks up for 90 seconds, that's really annoying. I can't tell you how many times I've rebooted before I realized that the system would respond again in 90 seconds.
Was the MWB the registered version . That will cause this issue as both scanners scan the same file. Please let us know.
I'm running Windows XP SP3, so I went into the Event Viewer, looked at Application events, and filtered on Event 5051, which for me is "A thread in process C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\SystemCore\mcshield.exe took longer than 90000 ms to complete a request." Here's a breakdown of how many such events have occured going as far back as December:
December 10
January 12
February 7
March 2
April 81
May 1-4 44 in less than four days!
As you can see, this problem has really escalated for me beginning in April, right about the time the new McAfee 2010 was installed.
When I examine the details of individual events, it's rarely MalwareBytes. It seems to be random as to what the scanning conflict was with. I'll do more checking.
I'm not a happy camper with this problem. Is there a procedure to downgrade to the older, more stable version?
Peacekeeper, I'm not 100% sure as to what you mean by the "registered version" of Malwarebytes. I'm using free versions of the following:
Malwarebytes v1.46
Spybot Search & Destroy v1.6.2.46 with systems settings protector v1.6.6.32
Windows Defender v1.1.1592.0
Lavasoft Ad-Aware 8.1.4
Next, I'll do a more detailed tabulation of the 44 events during the past four days (see my previous message, above).
Okay, below is more detailed information on all my "A thread in process C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\SystemCore\mcshield.exe took longer than 90000 ms to complete a request." events 5051 during the first two days in May. Here's an example of a complete event application error report:

The only example I could find so far in May involving Malwarebytes is the following:

The process will be terminated. Thread id : 5224 (0x1468)

Please let me know what conclusions might be drawn from the above examples. Thanks!
I asked re MWB as the registered version has an active real time scanner that does clash with Mcshied.
What does setiathome_6.03_windows_intelx86.exe do?
I have asked a tech to have a look over the log.
