Well it does simply sound like your system is now too small for the current
software I'm afraid. A year between engine updates is a LONG time - either
McAfee have been very slack - or you have ;-)

Sounds like their newer engine has a lot of new code for catching those
nasty viruses - 'tis the price we pay I'm afraid...

So, you have several options:

* look at other AV products. Someone elses may be less hungry than McAfee.
Especically the daemonized ones such as Sophie and Trophie.

* More hardware! Fixes everything ;-) This could be a bigger machine, or (my
fav) more machines. DNS round-robin does a wonderful job of load balancing.
