I am running Mcafee Security Center on my computer rest of the specs about my computer are below. When Mcafee begins looking for updates and installing them automatically around start up that is when anything I'm doing on the computer either slows down to a crawl and can become unresponsive. The processes that seem to be taking over my CPU are: mcshield. And then the update process seems takes long as well sometimes as long as 30 minutes.
Its always taken this long, but recently I lost some valuable information due to my computer becoming unresponsive so that's when this became personal. Is it possible to limit the CPU usage by Mcafee so that my other programs aren't affected noticeably? Thanks in advance. I really appreciate the time and efforts of all of you here.
Joined Aug 11, Messages What slows down my computer are the updates and update installations that Mcafee does.
My computer still slows down during updates. I haven't really gotten a solution yet. But as a temporary solution, my updates are not automatic anymore and so when I know i'm going for lunch or something i manually prompt mcafee to start looking for updates and installing them. Even then, I do that not every day anymore, more like once every few days because it takes the same amount of time for Mcafee to search for updates and install them whether I do it in every day or after a few days.
No, I didn't delete any processes in task manager. But I have noticed a significant speed increase without Mcafee's updating process. If anyone has a better solution, please let me know. SO my solution is to un-install and download AVG and give it a test go and see if its not any better. Thanks again! No prob As Seen On. Welcome to Tech Support Guy! Latest posts.
