Hi,
I posted a message about this earlier in the week.
Don't touch McAfee 4.5 yet.
There is a major bug in it, you will experience a massive performance hit under WIn2k.
I have spoken to Network Associates about this, they tell me the developers are working on a fix.
When I say performance hit, I mean things like, right-click desktop, wait 30-45 seconds for display properties to appear that kind of thing.

it also takes 5 minutes to initialize (i.e. grind the drives) during bootup...free always comes with a price. I am using NAV2000 and most happy.

I have to agree. Mcaffee TVD is absolute rubbish on Windows 2000.

They released 4.5 a short while ago as their Windows 2000 anti-virus software, and I foolishly installed it.

Everything more or less stopped. I have since wiped my PC and installed NAV2000, and it's a far better application.

Everything works as it should, and updates are regular.
