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.

Windows General
