Purchased new Toshiba computer with Vista installed. Windows mail worked for
two days, until I installed the McAfee Security. I receive emails but can
not send.
I disabled McAfee and still have the same problem. Is there somewhere else
I should be looking?
 
This is Pam answering my own question. I contacted Toshiba and besides
having the email problem, I was also having a disc drive problem, it was not
working, and they suggested I insert the recovery discs and that should fix
the problem. Well my email is now working and also the disc drive. So
hopefully it will continue to work.

A friend got a new Toshiba laptop about 7 days ago. He had nothing but
problems - until I removed the McAfee crap totally.

I installed separate applications that do the same thing and his computer
now flies.

I am jealous. I want one.

Do you have a suggestion of what anit-virus would be good for this computer?
I do not want to put McAfee back on it, but right now there is no protection.
Thanks

I installed Avast antivirus (free edition) on his computer. Along with that
I installed the latest version of Spyware Sweeper (not free). These two give
very good protection. Also, they are both updated automatically, multiple
times daily, if the need arises.

I then installed and updated Spyware Blaster (free). And showed him how to
manually update same. If you get the paid edition it also updates
automatically. This program does nothing other that make entries into
Internet Explorer that prevent you from visiting known malicious web sites
and running known malicious web downloads on your computer. It takes up zero
resources - except when you perform the update.
