"Let's murder F-Prot. ;)

Reboot in safe mode (press F8 at boot screen).

Once logged into safe mode, search for fssm32.exe (don't forget system and hidden files)!

rename all instances of fssm32.exe found - fssm32.exe.bak is a good choice.

Reboot - if F-Prot still works, great, check if fssm32.exe is still running. If F-Prot is wonky, reboot in safe mode again, and this time, delete the whole entire F-Prot folder - Windows should be resilient enough to withstand that. Run the usual cleanup steps (reg + services) after deleting.

Give it a shot."
