Why am I having conflicts with user privilege while using Fast User Switching?

With Fast User Switching, limited users without write access may encounter problems when updating the virus signature files using the Updater. This is because limited users do not have write permission to the F-PROT folder nor to the F-PROT Updater's registry. To avoid such conflicts, these folders' security settings must be set to Full Control.

In addition, make sure that the current owner of FP-Updater folder is the same as that of the Windows Scheduler. Ownership is set in the folder's Advanced Security Settings window.

For instructions on checking ownership of FP-Updater folder, see Limited users unable to update the virus signature files
