Asking for password

[susmitroy]

I have installed the Escan AV Pro edition in my new pc having NTFS partition with windows xp sp2. Now when any one is trying to access my pc in my office network (having win xp or win98 OS ) , a user name and password is asking for log in (in win xp) and only password is asking with win98 OS. But there is no password at all and i have tried by giving user name administrator and pwd same or blank. But it don't work. Then i format and install xp sp2 again and don't install Escan, the problem solved. Againg i install EScan the problem arise. I set escan at default setting. How to solve ?
