    Does truescan try to verify certificates for running processes? How can I troubleshoot this problem. When we uninstall SEP we dont get the crypt32 errors. I saw that I can decrease the frequency of the Proactive Threat Scans which I believe is what COH_Mon is used for, but I am using SEP Small Business Ed. and there does not seem to be anywhere to change the scans. I did find where I can disable them but this causes the end user to get a big red error indicating they are not protected. So here I am asking what do you suggest? How do I get COH_Mon to stop running or at least run without the errors and slowdown\freezing the PC? If I have to remove SEP and go back to Mcafee I can but I would rather not.

    Any help is welcome!

    You are correct about SEP 12, this feature cannot be modified. I would open a case ASAP, and get Symantec to investigate the root cause of the errors.
