    mcafee updating startup menu ???

    Seems like the automatic mcafee antivirus updates are placing msn messenger in my startup menu. Is anyone having this problem ??? I don't want it in there. Of course mcafee is denying that their program is doing this, but I am almost 100% positive it is the mcafee updates doing this, since...

    Help on fresh OS install

    Yes & that did not fix it. So my hard drive is on the way out & the mcafee somehow "fixed itself" while I was on the technical chat with them & they had me run it. It could have been one of the automatic updates that was installed after I reported the problem that fixed the freezing problem...

    Help on fresh OS install

    Yes I had it done about 6 years ago. It was one of the best things I have ever done and I would recommend it to anyone. Cost me $5000 since my health ins. at the time did not cover it, but it was well worth it not to have to wear contacts/glasses everyday. They gave me about 3 hours of eye...
