The purpose of On-Access Scan is to scan files in real time as they are opened to keep your system constantly protected. This means the service runs in the background while your computer is running. Have others noticed an incredible increase in the time needed for a full McAfee scan? On my core 2 quad XP SP3 desktop, the full scan used to take about minutes, but during the last few months, the time has increased to 7 or more hours.
The one major reason why it may take so long for the antivirus scan to complete is that you have other programs running at the same time. When you run a program you are using up CPU time. While it may seem like the antivirus is still running to you because the wait is so fast, it is slowing it down more than necessary. The length of time for performing a Quick scan will vary but it generally takes about minutes so they can be performed daily.

That said it is possible for the end user to restrict the scanning process, so that it utilises minimal resources. For users running the multi-thread version of McAfee, this issue can be further compounded.
The multi-threading process works by breaking up larger programs into multiple small processes, which can then be spread across multiple cores, improving performance and efficiency. However, on systems that have single-core processors, this feature can be counter-intuitive, because the threads will be constantly competing for CPU resources.
That said; I suggest you continue reading for those step-by-step removal instructions. The quickest way to eliminate any issues you may be having with the mcshield. To do that is fairly simple, just do the following:. As an alternative to removing the program in its entirety, you can disable mcshield. However, this will disable the real-time scanning capabilities of the program. Note: Alternatively you can set Startup Type to Manual ; this will prevent the process from starting during boot up, however, it will not disable the process altogether, so if the application attempts to use the feature, it will automatically load up.
If anyone has a better solution, please let me know. SO my solution is to un-install and download AVG and give it a test go and see if its not any better. Thanks again! No prob As Seen On.
