Yes, As I understand, McAffee still uses a 16 bit scanning engine - and as a
result really slows down some system.  So much so, that it has caused many to
abandon the product for a more efficient one.

Don't hold me to this, as I abandoned McAffee back in the Win98SE days for that
reason

    A place to start:

    Start looking for 16 bit versions of applications that are running.  Such as
A/V
    scanners, software firewalls, etc.    Most running processes are running
under a
    system account, so it is time consuming to isolate the offending
application.

    Next try disabling processes running under "system"  one at a time with the
CPU
    monitor running and observe which one(s) make a big difference.  Sometimes a
    re-install of that particular application will do the trick, but most will
    require upgrading to a 32 bit version of the process.

    In my case, I had to update the F-PROT scan engine to a 32 bit version and
that
    solved the runaway issue.

    Good luck!

      Subject: SOT: Latest Windows Updates

      Hey All,

      We applied the latest round or about 5 security updates to our Win2K
      Advanced Server yesterday and then all hell broke loose.

      It now takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the desktop, then another 15 or
      so before SQL Server and a few other services get running....CF service
      never started in that time so I went in and set it to a manual start
(trying
      to free up resources).

      Basically, the "System" process (not System Idle Process) is taking up all
      the CPU time...occasionally letting go for a few seconds.

      Being that the system moves SO slow it's tough to check things to try and
      diagnose...so I'm here asking for help ;-)

      Any..and I do mean ANY advice would be great

      TIA

      Cheers
