I am getting the same exact error, I am interested on the fix as well.

anyone know what causes this? or what the solution is?

I am also experiencing the same issue... any solutions or hints?

I am still experiencing it, I can't believe that we are the only ones.

I am also getting the same error.........

I also see this warning in the logs. 

I am also getting the same error message at a client site.  I have installed Altiris 7.1 many times for many different customers but I have never seen this before. 

I see this sometimes as well.  I've flagged this for review by Support.

Indeed, I've seen it few times as well in the logs.

Is there any other errors or warnings?

Honestly, the only reason I didn't delete this post is because there are so many others with the same problem. I gave up on this and multiple other errors a while back and just purchased Dell Kace. My servers aren't up anymore, so I can't capture the logs. If someone else could post their logs, that would be great for bumping up support for this issue.

this is mostly related to AV exceptions...  and is a harmless warning otherwise.  Ensure that your av exceptions are setup correctly.
