A few minutes ago I suffered a system crash, probably due to
Vaccine, the anti-viral INIT/CDEV by CE Software.

What happened:

I tried to install a DA on a system 'protected' by the Vaccine program.
The moment F/DA Mover tried to install the resources, the Vaccine
program started beeping, warning me about possible virus-intrusions.

As the cursor was set to the 'spinning watch' symbol, I couldn't
position the mousepointer accurately at the mini-OK button in the
menubar and probably clicked 'Cancel'. F/DA Mover generated an error
message and stopped. As of that moment my System file was garbled.

What have we learned from this:

1) Don't use 'Expert Mode' in Vaccine CDEV
(causing all warnings to be in small icons)

2) Disable the Vaccine before using F/DA Mover.
