Internet Security 2008 Momentary Outage

Running BD Internet Security 2008 Build 11.0.17 on Windows XP Pro SP2. All patches current. BD update current.


I have a situation where the Scan Activity bars (File zone and Net zone) will suddenly go inactive (red x's) for about 5 seconds. Win XP immediately pops up a warning that computer is unprotected. Scan Activity bars return to normal activity after 4 - 5 seconds and Win XP warning disappears.


No major program or utilities added in several weeks. I've run a deep system scan a couple of times and no indication of any infection or malware is reported.


This problem is intermittent. I assume that both the firewall and virus shield are de-activated during these episodes. I'm connected to internet via cable modem and have not noticed any activity (up or down) during the time the File zone and Net zone notice boxes display red x's.


Anyone having similar behavior? If so any solution or suggestions appreciated. Deep system scan log below:
