We're subscribed to McAfee 3-user suite until March. The virus scan takes almost 3 hours. The daily download almost a half hour. Other than disabling automatic updates, are there any suggestions as to get McAfee to run faster?

Thanks Bob. I know I can do that but things are looking a little better after disabling auto updates. I may stick it out until our subscription expires in March otherwise I'll switch to Zone Alarm or AVG.

before you take zone alarm ,look at the tests. comodo 3.0 free is much better then zone alarm.
