CAUSE

This problem may occur if file-level antivirus software is installed on the Exchange 2000 computer, and the antivirus software is configured to scan the Exchange directory structure. We strongly recommend that antivirus software be configured so that the EXCHSRVR directory and drive M (if exposed) are excluded from scans.
