fixing VirusScan

I had the same experience where VirusScan broke _immediately_ after installing the latest LimeWire.

After trying everything, I found this site

http://www.bugtoaster.com/dw15/Repor...sp?DefectID=77

which suggests executing Avsynmgr.exe from the Run section of the registry instead of the RunServices section.

move the McAfeeVirusScanService key from

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices]

to

[...\Run]
