We have had a disturbing trend here with this - the computer hangs at
applying computer settings for 15-50 minutes - then the profiles on the
machine are completely wiped, all data removed - we've had it happen so far
on 3 confirmed computers - it's very odd - I've tried looking for virus
information but haven't found any yet - any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
