SYMPTOMS

After you install the V3 Pro Antivirus software on Windows NT 4.0, there may be a handle leak in a backup process (such as Ntbackup.exe or some third-party backup software).

CAUSE

This behavior is caused by the V3 Pro Antivirus software. Backup software creates many event handles named \BaseNamedObjects\V3SOCKHOOK, but theV3 Pro Antivirus software may not signal these events, so these handles leak.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, contact the manufacturer of the V3 Pro Antivirus software, Ahnlab (http://www.ahnlab.com) to obtain the latest update. Or, remove the V3 Pro Antivirus software.
