Can any body help me I tried to install Immunet AV to run along with Avast 5, but after I tried to restart I got a blue screen with this message.
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
The problem seems to be caused by the following file: LVPrcMon.sys
The driver unloaded without cancelling pending operations.
If this is the first time you’ve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow theses steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you may need.
If problem continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced options, and then select Safe Mode.
Thanks for your advice, I will keep away from it for a while.I did remove it with Revo, so it’s completely gone. I notice CNET gives it nearly 5 stars. I would still be interested to know about the Blue Screen Message and what it means.
But you are quite correct, it does ask you to install the Ask toolbar. But on the same page it has the Immunet toolbar, Under which it has
" standard Installation ". You have to uncheck this not to have the Immunet toolbar. It will then install the AV. All a bit sneaky. Maybe a good idea to avoid Immunet and it’s toolbars altogether.
How “malware” is the Ask toolbar after all??? Foxit PDF Reader installs it too, and why not Avast in the near future. It pays for the free software I guess… Ask toolbar may be allows bad sites in its search results, just don’t use it ;). I noticed it took me 2 trials to install Immunet 2 successfully mainly because of my ONLINE ARMOR FIREWALL HIPS, plus MBM blocked an URL while the ask toolbar was installed (but I unchecked its installation, so it’s deactivated on my system, but still there!). I regret the community is only by now 200 000 or so because it accounts only the version 2.0 installations, not the previous ones, which is stupid!
For the rest, my system goes pretty fast. Everything is fine, so I suggest everyone to get its copy from CNET or PCWORLD which gave IMMUNET 2 a pretty good review so THE COMMUNITY grows FAST as BIG as it should!

I have ANTIVIR PREMIUM 10 on my system due to previous troubles with “AVAST”, but I’m waiting for it to heal from its wounds so by next year hopefully it should be usable! 8)
I have now given up on the idea of installing Immunet. Apparently it is still in Beta ???.
But does anybody know what the blue screen message meant.

IMHO, hpHost is getting a little to invasive with their blacklisting. As long as you are given the opportunity
to bypass the so called Immunet Toolbar (Ask Toolbar) there shouldn’t be a reason to blacklist the program. >:(
There is a option to disable ‘submission of files to the community’ in Immunet 2
And installation of Ask Toolbar is optional
Even Avast uploads your files if Avast finds it suspicious without your knowlege if you tick/join the community option when installing Avast…
And
I am well pleased with Immunet PRO and it is better than Prevx and Panda Cloud as it has an offline scan engine with definiton update frequently.
But Prevx wins the ram usage and Immunet comes next and the last one is Panda.
I would advise only Immunet Free because the definiton updates in PRO version is very frequent and after the initial definiton updates you find that Immunet has grown from 8MB to around 250 MB
But it all comes down to user preference
Let us wait for some independant rating agencies to test Immunet
And
Immunet 2 is no more a BETA. It has released the stable version yesterday.
EDIT:
I have been testing Immunet beside Avast for many months and probabily a year. It has no compatibilty issues with Avast.
Thanks to Bob and Tech re the Blue screen. It appears to be Logitech ProcMon Driver , as Tech suggested I did try Bobs link, but it’s all looking a bit too technical for me. As I have now got everything working O.K. without Immunet and associated toolbars, I think I will leave things as they are. As Immunet is only one day out of Beta perhaps I jumped in a little soon. Never had the blue screen problem with anything else.
