Technology Shakedown: McAfee's A/V software runs amok on Win

[qwertypipe]

McAfee uses a lot of resources. Mine used up to 170 MB of RAM; can you believe it? I got rid of it and went to TrendMicro, which I've been happy with even though I don't know if it's the best.

@chrischoy9 I got the full version of Photoshop Elements for free on a Packard Bell. I also got a trial for the same program on another PB

I can tell you whats wrong with it. I had this problem. Its because you have vista. Mcafee isnt compatidble.. they say they are but they arent. When this happened to me i was on windows home edition sp2. I called mcafee they didnt know what was wrong. What was happening with me was my comp was BSDing(blue screen of death). Then mcafee updated and i couldnt delete it. so i had to completely reformat my haddrive. so if i was you.. get rid of that program as fast as you can.
