Yes McAfee Privacy service does slow down access, often severly, to certain websites (including the Dell forums).

I have contacted McAfee about this problem, and they could not come up with a fix, other than uninstalling Privacy Service.

This is what I finally did.

No problems however with Mcafee Virusscan or Firewall.

I have in addition to my McAfee Antivirus and Firewall:

Ad-Aware,

Spybot Search and Destroy,

Spywareblaster.

All those are free programs.
