* This is the modus mailing list *
As the virus definition update problem keeps on reappearing we killed the moduscan / modusadm services using the task manager. Stopping the services did not work anymore! After this I cannot start any of these 2 services again!! I always get the error : Error 0xe0100006: 0xe0100006 Rebooting the whole server does NOT help so we are stuck! Any suggestion on how to get the server up again would be welcome. Please answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I cannot ready my normal email anymore. regards, Christian RB> * This is the modus mailing list * RB> If you are experiencing problem getting the Virus updated, please follow RB> these following steps.
