30% of PCs are blocked, able to use the mouse and Windows tab function, but nothing else. Users indicated that they were in Outlook 2010 when this was the case. Ctrl old delete gives us the black screen for about 1 minute, then I get “error in the display of security and stop.”. We operate Viper 2014 and 2015 Internet Security, including the firewall. My original idea was to close the firewall, but now it is also happening with these. 30% of my employees have to do it again 5 times a day in case of absence. If anyone has any idea what it is, I’m willing to spend a lot of money to get rid of it.
