Hi Brian, I feel your pain. My first reaction was to suggest that you'd get a lot of satisfaction out of taking the puter out back and putting a few .45 slugs through the beast. But then I realized that you don't have any hardware issues to deal with a'tall. So, that was a bad choice on how to deal with frustration. Here's a suggestion on a first step. Use Start\|Find\|Files or Folders\|Date then find all files created since you installed the McAfee nonsense. Start deleting. Don't stop til done. Judgement is required on the files "modified" since that date, however. If McAfee is really sloppy some .dlls could be hosed by them. And you won't want to delete them. Other solutions must be used. Next: Reinstalling the OS might help. Else: Hope you've backed the system up recently, because a reformat and reinstallation of your "last known good" system image may well be in order. Good Luck, Ray :)
