i have widown xp corperate on my machine, and my security tools keep mysteriously breaking after working for a short period of time. for instance super scan 4 (a decent port scanner for windows in my opinion) works for the first couple times after an insall. then it just won't run. dosn't even show in the task manager when i try to run it. not even for a brief second. and cain and able has done the same thing. installs runs fine then just breaks. i thought maybe there was somthing wrong withjust my computer but then i installed on my laptop and the same tools have broke on that too. even my sub seven (don't laugh, it's come in handy) works for a while before both server and client contrl app and server edit app just stop working.

the question is, has any one else had this problem? is this a feture of ms xp corp? are invisible anti security tools zombies messing with my system when i blink? any suggestions? because it sucks to install somthing and run it just to have it not work for no reason later.
