I notice, however, that with McAfee down the drain, my MS Word documents open just a wee bit faster -- I timed it at about 10-15 seconds faster. So McAfee was indeed interfering with Word. Now, if I downloaded Panda, would it be just as nasty? Or is there something about McAfee (and perhaps Norton) that sets up an interference? Remember, I had what McAfee calls its "Security Suite," which is a bloated program that includes Defrag (who needs it when you've got the Windows Defrag?) and a bunch of unecessary features including a confusing backup. With all that said and done, I think I'll take you up on your previous suggestion What's Panda's home page? What I may do is download the free AMG program (I have their anti-spyware and it seems to be perfectly fine) and use it temporarily to get over the hump. Then I'll try Panda's 30-day trial and see how that works. Meanwhile, I've still got that terrible MCPR program, which gave no warning or options -- the minute I double-clicked on it, the program swung into action and McAfee was gone. Worse yet, it didn't finish the job. There's still a McAfee folder on my computer and subfolders in it. I can delete the folder, but who knows what's lurking in my Registry and elsewhere.
