I have recently installed mcafee anti virus on my pc but it seems 2 have slow my pc down a bit. does anyone else have this problem?
if you've installed critical update Q811493, it causes slowdowns, with av software. among other things. you can safely uninstall q811493 in add/remove programs in control panel.
