Ok, am not that good on pc's normally and am too tired to think but have just changed over to mcafee 2005 as the 2004 had run out. But the pc has a couple of problems which started before the change. It's running a lot slower than normal generally and the net is running really slow - some pages not loading or only half loading and all taking longer than usual.

So is there a problem with the pc, with my broadband, with mcafee or all 3?? Done a virus scan and didn't pick up anything apart from some adware.

Why don't you run panda active scan wobblyknicks - it is very good. I can get you a link if you like?

Thanks ss, am just using it now. Will try anything now and if its still bad will wipe and reinstall Sunday morning, gives me time to check how to do it and then I won't be knackered and will be dd-free for a couple of hours!

You really need adaware or spybot on your pc as well as macafee I think.

I actualy have both, i think adaware can be as bad as viruses!

Thanks ss, panda keeps telling me its got errors downloading the active x stuff, will try again tommorrow.

Thanks everyone for all the help, god knows where I'd be with only windows xp help!!!

After 12 years, I suspect the pc is now past help....

This is a 12-year-old zombie thread! I somehow suspect the OP is not still using McAfee 2005...
