I have Cortex running on an XP (MCE) machine, and I connect to it via RDP. This is an almost vanilla install with Symantec Anti Virus. What I see however is that every few days RDP displays 'Windows is shutting down" and then I get logged off. Worse still Cortex stops :-( When I reconnect I have to log in again and then Cortex starts. I only have the one account with administrator rights and fast user switching is turned on.
In looking at the application log I think this is happening because Symantec Anti Virus is running under a system account / service and every time it downloads a new virus definitions file it forces the complete logout of the RDP/Administrator session , including shutting down Cortex even though fast user switching is enabled. After updating itself it then returns to the user login screen requiring a new login to start Cortex again.
How can I avoid this ?
