Last Modified: 1/12/2021

Environment

McAfee Agent (MA) 5.0.x

Problem

The MA and VSE system tray icons display simultaneously.

Cause

The process shstat.exe (VSE icon) is running while McTray.exe (MA icon) is also up and running. You expect that the shstat.exe process closes after McTray successfully loads.
