My laptop computer (Toshiba) has Microsoft Word and
yesterday I found that after installing McAfee firewall
(recommended by AOL), Microsoft Word is operating very,
very slowly. It takes ages to save a document. I tried
to do a disk fragment but this froze! I also applied a
spyware removal software and checked for viruses. Can
anyone offer advice?

Regards,

Try removing and reinstalling word. If that fails, remove McAfee and try a
different antivirus application as it would appear your setup may have some
conflicts with that software, not at all unusual.

Norton and McAfee tend to be system hogs. EZ Trust is somewhat lighter on
the system, http://www.my-etrust.com/. They have a trial version and note,
for best results, use the standalone AV as opposed to their versions
integrated with other apps.

There are also free AV software apps that are equally light on the system.
AVG: www.grisoft.com
Avast: www.avast.com
