    McAfee scan running extremely slow
    « on: September 01, 2010, 09:59:08 PM »
    I have the McAfee Security Center on my PC, and I THINK its supposed to have a scheduled scan every 30 days. Well every 3-5 days it tells me it has not preformed the scheduled scan in 30 days or less, and that my computer is not fully protected.. So I need to run the scan to "fix" it so its protected again..

       Well when I run the scan it takes HOURS and HOURS... I started it at about 3:00pm today, and its Now 11:00pm and its only 25% Completed. 

       Does anyone know the cause of this, or any possible tips to make it run smoother?  I am pretty ignorant with PC's..

        Thanks ahead of time for anybody's time that replys to this post.
