I'm pretty sure one or two subscribers to this list work at/in UEA... A friend of mine's daughter has just started there and has been obliged to put McAfee on her (XP Pro) laptop. The problem is, everytime she joins the UEA net, the machine slows to a crawl. Would anyone be so kind as to take a look at it for her please?
Obliged to? That's a cruel and unusual punishment, isn't it?
The best thing to do with McAfee is not to touch it with someone else's bargepole, but if contamination has occurred, to ditch it.
