I would not touch McAfee with the proverbial barge pole... run, screaming,
in the other direction.

One last question:
I'm doing fine with Trend. But what if I upgrade to XP? I realize that I
could buy a new computer for not much more but I'm kind of attached to
this
one. I'm considering spending the $80 to upgrade to XP, then trying the
Mcafee that I've already paid for before paying for Trend. Do you have
experience with this? Is the McAfee likely to perform better under XP on
the
same computer? Thanks again.

please consider Trend, E-Trust or Vet.

I unloaded McAfee Virusscan and my speed returned to normal. I reloaded
it
and it was somewhat slower but now it is back to as slow as when I
first
reported it.
Since this is my backup computer, I've decided to accept the slower
speed
until my McAfee subscription ends, then either upgrade to XP or at
least
change to Norton Antivirus.

I will try the online test this weekend. Thanks!

You are using Win98 yes? You need to find your network connection
icon,
right click, select properties, and see if you can turn on an option
to
view
the connection in the systray; its been so long since I used Win98 I
can't
remember for sure.. I will have access to a Win98 PC so will have a
look.

I'm pretty good with the computer but I don't see where connection
option
is
located. I checked using Windows Explorer, desktop Icon, and
control
panel.
Are you sure you're not referring to W2000? I have that at work
and
I
found
the option there.
It looks like I need to subscribe to dslreports.com to get the
test
software. True?

Go to your network connections folder. Turn on the option to
show
the
connection in system tray when connected.
Once you have done this, rest your mouse over the connection to
see
what
your connection speed is. Post back the results.
Alternatively, you can use one of the test programs at
www.dslreports.com
to
check the speed of your internet connection.
