This issue has been solved. See solution.

Environment:

1 server (Windows 2003) and 17 clients

All 17 computers are installed with 11.0.4000.2295 and the server has SEPM with SEP installed.

10 computers out of 17, Proactive Threat Protection Disables as soon as Computer Restarts.

When we Click on the Fix Button, the SEP runns fine...

Have no errors in regards to the Application Logs & System Logs in the Event Manager

All the Virus defintions are up to date.

All the Computers are having PeachTree Software installed.

When I checked the VPdebug Logs found this error:

Error 0x80070002 occured enabling AV alerts

Any idea on this???

Mithun TRY THIS

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\SERVICES\SmcService  added Multi String Value  “DependOnService”,  with  Data  as “SENS” .

Rebooted the machine

Solution

Thanks Prachand...

Well.

The Solution seemed to work for me...was

1) Went to Antivirus / Antispyware Policy > Truscan Proactive Threat Scans and Checked the Box for "Scan for Key Loggers" --> seemed somebody had turned it off.

2) Upgrading all the computers to 11.0.4202.....

:)

Thanks Guys...

Did checking the "Scan for Key Loggers" box made the PTP to work normally......?...that's odd...isnt it?

De facto when AV does something, it starts jumping up and down, waving its arms, and shouting "Hey!  I found a virus!  Look at me!  I'm soooo goooood!"
