Live protection freezing my machine

supotuco

I had live protection turned on my machine and it freezes it every time.  I can't even log in when it is on.  I am running Moutin Lion and SAV 8.06c.  This is just to let others know what could be happening.

    I mentioned in another thread how to fix this: start up with the shift key held down, then go into preferences and disable live protection, then reboot.

    Live Protection issues are generally tied to network connection issues -- the software is failing to communicate with the cloud service that contains the live data.  For those technically inclined, it's attempting to perform a DNS lookup and read the response.  If your router for some reason can't handle large DNS datagrams (ie: it's not compliant with the DNS RFCs because someone took some shortcuts in hardware or software), this will fail.  It can also fail if the Live Protection service is saturated on your local lookup node, or if you have general network connection issues.
