This is about Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security version 14.6 on my
Dell Vista Home Premium SP1 computer. I bought this program with my Dell
and it's good until July 2010.
*Has anyone had the problem of "PCCVScan has stopped working" and
resolved it?* I run the scan for viruses and it stops after a short
while (it varies from a few minutes and longer) and displays that error
message.
*Is Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security version 14.6 an all-in-one*
antivirus, antispyware and firewall program? *They told me I had to turn
off the windows firewall. They also told me to turn off Webroot
SpySweeper even though I bought it with my Dell and both were
preinstalled.*
The problem I'm having only developed after using the computer for a
year. Why would I suddenly get this error? If I remember correctly,
everything was fine until I updated Vista to the SP1 version, but I'm
not sure.
Before I go through all of the steps as instructed in their latest
email shown below my post, I'd like a few second opinions!
Here is what they are now telling me to try:
"This is (name deleted) from Trend Micro Consumer Support.
Thank you very much for your response. It seems that the suggested
solution did not resolve your issue. Please allow me to continue
assisting you in this case. I understand that your PCCVScan has stopped
working.
I apologize for the inconvenience. Regarding your concern, this may be
caused by conflicting softwares and possible viruses. Please do the

means that the Virus Pattern File (LPT$VPN.XXX) , Spyware pattern file
