I just bought a dell inspiron 6400 which comes with McAfee security centry last week. Upon the first turn on the comp prompted me to upgrade my Mcafee Anti software to new patch / version. After upgrading everything is fine except for web browsing which has become very very slow!!! like those in dial up days or worse.
I have disabled the phishing option but it's still the same. Even reinstalled the whole software but it still gave the same result. So i totally remove the prgram completely and gonna call dell tmrw. No point buying the software if it totally screw up my system.
JUst wanna know if anyone using McAfee having this problem? Thanks

They said it might due to the phising filters of the McAfee SC that clashes with IE 7 phishing system. They asked me to disable the Mcafee SC system to check if the web browsing will become faster. I havnt tried that since the lappie is not with me right now..
Maybe you should give it a try too...

The update is for McAfee software or IE? If it really improves the web browsing performance i might consider reinstall back McAfee...Will wait for your update

QUOTE(ben16 @ Mar 3 2007, 02:36 PM) Sorry. Should have mentioned. Update was automatic and is installed at shutdown. I think it is windows update. So far no problems. You mean after installing the updates for Window and with the updated McAfee SC 7.. you are able to browse web using IE 7 with no ultra speed? Waht did you change initially? Was it you turn off the anti phishing filter option?
