Earlier posts have the answer. In my case, the computers became
unusable due to excessive disk activity for many hours. And I
really mean unusable, not just sluggish. It would take half an hour
to start up a browser and then you could not even do anything
with it. And I don't mean just within VRPC.

Years ago, I had a similar issue with Trend PC-Cillin. At that time,
AVG was much better (acceptable).  Now, I don't know what
AV s/w to use.
