Win ME and McAfee

[flyerorange]

I have cable internet. As of the past couple of days, my Win ME computer has slowed to a snails pace. I wonder if it's a virus or spyware. I have the free McAfee through Comcast. I started a virus scan last night, and it's still doing it, real slow. It's been scanning all night. I'm wondering if it's McAfee. Are there any good free downloadable Anti-virus programs I can try, if I uninstall McAfee?

I'd appreciate any help.

Click Start - Run, type in MSCONFIG and then click OK - "Startup" tab. Besides:

ScanRegistry

SystemTray

*StateMgr

Antivirus program entries

what other startup entries in that list has a checkmark next to it?

What is the processor type and speed?

How much RAM is installed?
