Yes he has a single user on this machine with password protection

Yes McAfee. But he insists, that my App has no blocking entry in the MyAfee
list. (Next step he wants to deinstall McAfee)

Noop, one is start from Cd, one from Desktop

My App doesn't appear either in the task bar, nor in task manger, but the
sandglass is running for a short period, before nothing happens

As he now tells me, my Apps don't have a shield icon, hmmm

Will be my next step, though my experience with such system issues and
McAfee isn't very deep, thats why I hesitated yet.
