General Lee Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 You know .. yu should at least go ahead and uninstall/get rid of McAfee.. and install a trial for ESET or Norton.. I would be screaming to get rid of it.. You may also want to do a health check on your drive.. sometimes when they start to go bad they give this kind of problem.. I have never really heard anyone talking about McAfee freezing for four hours.. and ANYTHING would be better that that IF it truly is whats to blame..I have uninstalled it. :dance: I am going to try ESET NOD32 Antivirus + Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro until I've finally decided which AV + Firewall program I'm going to keep (other thread). Hopefully, the PC won't freeze up anymore. It was mostly due to McAfee's weird real-time scanning error. It'd turn on, then off and keep doing that for long periods of time. Then, in the end, it'd finally turn off. :wut: As for the health check, I used Hard Drive Inspector Professional (good program?) and it said this:* 100% reliability :thumbsup:* 100% performance :thumbsup:* 100% error resistance :thumbsup:I'll post full S.M.A.R.T. details, if you want to know. :)+1 heath28m.dump mcafee.ultravpn doesnt affect browsing . i hv used it .i would also recommend a hijackthis log .post its result in the forum .plenty of experienced members here , who can have a look at the log .Which version of HijackThis should I use to post the log? 2.0.2 or 2.0.3 beta? :think:Yeah, all your problems might be due to Mcafee .... dump it for good :lol:Done! :) :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl@pSh0ck™ Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 +++ Use the stable version of Hijackthis (but you can actually use either)+++ Please report back if your system is running fine now after uninstalling Mcafee for the benefit of other members who might be having same issue as yours ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Lee Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hey guys. I lost my internet connection since yesterday (weather problems, wires, etc). :badmood: I'm using my friend's laptop to quickly leave a message. I'm going to put all these comments/questions/answers on hold for now. When everything is fine again, I'll come back. Talk to you all soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
