Question slow computer and weird error message re McAfee
Recently my computer has gotten to be super slow. It especially slows down when McAfee is downloading an update. Sometimes whatever program I am using will even freeze. Also, everytime I try and shut down my laptop I get this message: acces violation at address 00423B60 in module 'comcastantispy.exe'. Write of address 0000000D
I have no idea what that means. I have to click 'shut down anyway?' before I can shut down. I got this version of McAfee free as a Comcast customer. I have been hearing a lot of bad things about it slowing the computer down. I did a HijackThis scan and this is what it showed. I appologize that I don't know enough about what I am looking for. I appreciate any help you can give me.
