| Totally off topic, i had a very nasty experience with multi-av the other
| day, i was in the process of updating the multiple ant viruses using the
| included instructions, while updating kaspersky the computer froze,
| requiring a hard reset, on restart my profile was all screwed up, various
| aspects of the profile had simple being deleted included oe identities, ie6
| favourites, and all profile shortcuts. Various programmes also no longer
| worked (office 2003), .....
|
| Ever had such an encounter? It wasnt caused by infection, and the av had not
| got to stage of scanning, just updating....

Sounds like a pure coincidence.
Updating does nothing but use WGET.EXE to perform a FTP Get from the Kaspersky server.
There is nothing in that process to cause the PC to freeze up. There is something else
going on like you have a hardware error and it just happened during that process. Your
profile was corrupted becauise when your crash occured data was cahched in RAM dealing with
teh User Registry and the cache wasn't flused to disk and the User Registry was corrupted
and thus you could not load your profile but a TEMP or other profile.
