My university (in DC) recently began using Cisco's "Clean Access Agent" product. It supposedly monitors Resnet Windows-running computers for MS security updates and required Norton updates (don't get me started on the whole being forced into using Norton thing)...
My problem is that any usage beyond simply browsing the internet to up to 30% of available networking bandwidth causes my ethernet connection to die. Once this happens I have been forced to completely reboot as the program shuts down (Login part is greyed out even after reinitializing the program). It's at the point that I cannot use AIM while downloading files or websurfing. And this is on a fresh XP install with Spybot SD, MS Anti-spyware, and Ad-Aware installed. I have to install the program and then remove it to get 'unrestricted' access every other reboot.
I'm wondering if any other students out there have had these problems?
