Today we experienced a serious issue that was caused by WebRoot. Approximately 60% of our systems were stuck in an endless reboot cycle:
Starting Windows ..
Starting Windows ..
..
Some systems showed the following BSOD:
   IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
   ..
   STOP: 0x0000000A (0x00000018, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x82EBC11C)

After we identified the problem, which took a very long time, we rolled out the following solution:
- Boot from Windows installation CD
- SHIFT-F10 to start a dos prompt
- From the dos prompt
- Rename C:WindowsSystem32WRusr.dll to WRusr.dll.org
- Rename C:WindowsSystem32drivers WRkrn.sys to WRkrn.sys.org

The above fixed the problem (60% of my users can work again) but of course effectively disables webroot antivirus

How to proceed from here on!
