I'm running the system in the subject. I've found various threads saything that with Mcafee firewall 7 they can't run SSHD properly, I am running A/V7 and have the same (or a very similar problem). I've disabled HAWK Script/HAWK email in the anti-virus but the problem is still occurring. Does anyone have a work round with A/V?
