Looks like there is a new version posted late yesterday that is supposed to fix the issue. I just reinstalled and so far so good. I will post later if there are any further problems with this update. Thanks for addressing the issue!

I never enabled Lock Fences in my configuration, never saw the need to do that, so you can count that out as a cause.
Would it help to post the fences_debug_info.txt file even after the program was uninstalled? I looked at the file and what wasn't encrypted, showed uninstall information only. I am having the same issue with Fences Pro using 50% of Explorer.exe cpu utilization and at times my AV, (NIS 2010) is also running at 50% with Fences Pro installed. This all started after I got an error message that the program was no longer activated. I ran the update and wham, the problems started.</p
In addition to the Empty Recycling bug, I also found that the 7zip contextual menu no longer works on Windows XP when Fences Pro is enabled.
