Help System Hangs

This is driving me nuts........

I recently installed McAfee Security Suite 2005; I had a number of problems
with the installation (full uninstall, reinstall, uninstall of the privacy
Seville again (now left off) - system now slow. However, following this
every time I go on the internet the system hangs after a period of time,
(not a consistent measurable time period), not following the same series of
events either. The control/Alt/Delete does work either - I end up having to
restart the computer every time which is becoming very frustrating. It is
as if there's something in the background taking all the resources and or
waiting for a response - the mouse movement still works, but the whole desk
top is frozen (no change, even if left for 5 minutes or more).

To note - in order to run the McAfee Security Suite I had to upgrade to
Outlook Express 6 and Internet Explorer 5.5 or above (Now at v6)


System is 500 MHz, 256 RAM, Virus checked, defragged, etc.........

Any help or suggestions greatly received

Many thanks,

Darren

Haved you tried installling the service pack for IE6?

If you have XP, go to control panel-adminstrative tools-event viewer and
check for errors, if there are details, google them.

I ran into this last November when I first installed McAfee Internet Security
Suite. And recent McAfee updates have put me back in the same situation.
Between the Firewall and Privacy Service, the CPU is pegged at 100% not
leaving any processing for anything else. I'm looking to fix this myself by
reinstalling McAfee or changing to a new Security program altogether.
