Hello,
I recently installed a trial version of McAfee VirusScan 6.1 and when I restarted my pc immediately after the installation so that it would take effect, Windows would not start except under safe mode. This totally freaked me out and as soon as I could restart Windows under safe mode, I removed VirusScan 6.1. I then was able to restart the computer normally. Before installing McAfee VirusScan, I tried one Quick Heal, but quirky things began happening with Windows (ie. blue screens with errors, logging onto the Internet without my asking it to do so, etc.). I am now on my third anti virus program, PC-Cillin, and so far it seems to start Windows more slowly, but at least I am able to start it without having to do so under safe mode. I am starting to wonder just what is the trouble about. Is it just my pc or do all pc's experience this much upheaval with the antivirus progams?
I need a Firewall also, but I'm now afraid to get one, lest it wreak havoc with my system.
