Important saftey tip, don't cross the streams.

My machine went to the frigging dogs when I joined it to the MS domain.  Anything I clicked on would result in a very loong delay.  Took forever to do anything. Just worked like an overblown paperweight.

 

I found the issue this morning. When I joined the domain, MS's required Anti-Virus software installed automagically.  Now...when I re-ghosted the Avanade image last weekend, the required Avanade AV software was installed.  Now of course, they are not the same tool. 

 

What was happening, was that whenever I'd do anything, AV tool A would scan real quick and then mark the memory "good", then AV tool B would scan it, and also mark it "good", which that "good" mark would be seen by AV tool A as a "change", so it scanned it again... marking it "good"... repeat until one times out or just gives up.

 

So, in the imortal words of Egon Spengler... "don't cross the streams".
