While scanning my C:\WINDOWS folder with David Lipmann's Multi_AV with the
McAfee module in safe mode, the previous reports:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\default ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\default.LOG ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SAM ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SAM.LOG ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SECURITY ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SECURITY.LOG ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\software ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\software.LOG ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system ... file could not be opened.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system.LOG ... file could not be opened.

Is this nothing to worry about?

Thanks,

I have only 1 'n' in my last name Lipman :-)

The files listed are LOG and other files with their respective File Handles held open by
the OS. This is normal and that is way the files can not be opened to scan.

In other words, no problems noted and it is nothing to worry about.

My apologies. I tried to recall your name from memory. I hate it when they
misspell my name too :-)

That's ok. Usually its the "p" that's repeated and BTW, you replied to FromTheRafters and
not me.

Happy Holidays.

I know. I had to, because my news server chopped your reply thinking it was
spam. I only saw your reply through FromTheRafters.

Thanks to all who replied.

Reciprocated :-)
