I feel Mc Affee VirusScan makes the system very slow.
Hiya Riya

Yes McAfee is really slow if you are still on patch level 10 and lower. There is a problem with regards to the buffer overflow protection which causes problems with the anti-virus system itself. You have to apply patch level 11. Get your System Administrator to use the policy orchestrator/epo to deliver the patch to your computer or you gonna cry whenever its starts its scan32.exe.

This is true for Win2K and XP. You also have to take note of your Operating System Patch Level as certain missing patches could also affect the Anti-Virus Scanner.

Hope This helps. Enjoy the day Further.

Happy New Year to all and Seasons Greetings ....
