Why is your computer running slower after installing McAfee Security Suite?
Robin
== == Mcafee is a very large program with a lot of componets. These componets take up a lot of space for memory. In full function Mcafee is constantly running scans, firewalls, etc. Which means your computer is always reserving space for the Mcafee componets that are currently running. In other words there is less memory for you computer to run other applications like your internet browser. Thus your computer is slower. Don't worry though. Through security applications have the same affect on your computers speed. There's really no way of getting around this problem.

Mcafee is by far the most space consuming piece of crap you could have on your computer it is not worth the price remove it and get kaspersky internet security 2009 and yes Mcafee slows down your computer CharlesK --> I play combat arms and i absolutely love it, i decided it would be a good idea to have some sort of Security on my Laptop to preserve the decent speed of my Laptop. I decided to get Mcafee Antivirus 2010, BAD IDEA! Mcafee is such a big file that every time i tried to play the game it lagged terribly, I restarted my laptop and uninstalled a countless number of files hoping that my game would return to its normalcy when i finally decided to uninstall Mcafee, my game was running better than ever. I decided that the price of Mcafee wasnt worth the price of the bad gaming experience.. MCAFEE STINKS. And that's all there is to it. NEVER USE MCAFEE!!! >:( PS: i have vista 32 bit on my laptop, if that helps. :D
