UDPATE:::::::::
It appears that installing Thunderbird 1.0 (replacing Thunderbird 0.9) provided an improvement lightyears better than the issue that I am describing below. VirusScan is hereby completely absolved.
ORIGINAL POSTING:::::::::::::::
I am using a Dell laptop for work and although it is not a fire-breathing implement, it is no slouch. Then again, it was really discouraging to suddenly have to contend with the fact that CPU was running at 100% and the machine hated switching Windows (despite 128 MB video card) when I had Eclipse, Tomcat and gAIM running. Uncool.
The culprit – McAfee Security Center – part of the VirusScan online – which ran at 98% CPU usage. Unacceptable.
I am looking for virus protection from a different source. Thanks, but no thanks.
