    McAfee security


    Well, I finally got around to uninstalling McAfee and running MCPR.exe. I thought McAfee was blocking Skype but it turned out I was calling a duff account. *Rolleyes

    I expected CPU usage and disk usage to be much less on startup but when I opened Task Manager disk usage was still hitting 100%.
