Ive updated to the new version  a couple  weeks ago ....And I like the new look and all ....But one of the problems that I am having is When I do  a virus scan it runs very slow ....Before I updated  it would take about 40 minutes to scan.. But now it is so slow that it would probably take 5 hours ..And I haven't figured out how to turn off Auto scan...Outside of just  stopping the scan..

From what I have read, the new McAfee has slowed everything down.  Wish I had the old one back.

i couldnt agree with u more. i wish i could go back also. I subscribe to them yearly and they wont help me either. When aol loads step 3 takes forever. I have to literally stop mcafee for everything to run fast. I relied on mcafee for yrs. They better do something with the newer version of mcafee soon. THey need to get rid of all the safeguards and system guards and just go back to a normal virus protection. Stop scanning emails and ims and the spamming. Since aol does this automatically. Mcafee has caused havoc on 3 of my dells.

Zone Alarm had similar problems a couple years ago when they did a major upgrade.  It took ZA about six months to fix most problems.  Still have to shut down ZA to scan or defragment my other PC.

 

Somehow McAfee has shut down my printer when I'm on the internet.  Prints fine except when I'm online, but when I'm online, the printer doesn't seem to be recognized.

 

Finally got registered on the McAfee forums, but nobody is offering any help as yet.

 

 

To anyone watching this thread.

 

I finally got ahold of McAfee and they solved my problem.

 

The problem was in IE7.  Reinstalled IE7 and it fixed my problem.

 

It takes a McAfee tech to figure out a Microsoft error.

umm some of us are still using ie 6. so that doesnt help us.
