This is 1 more reason to stay clear of any McAfee product!

Since this appears to be a WinMe problem, why not blame MS ?

It's not an issue with other OS at all.

Win ME seems to have just a few to many problems.

Ive never used a McAfee product ever.... I hate them.

MSNY... McAfee has a history with issues on all WinX systems, while not everyone has these problems with McAfee (on WinX) there is a pattern... I am willing to bet McAfee will now update it's software to make it more compatible with WinMe. This problem came to the surface because Microsoft found a way in WinMe that improves the efficiency of it's ability to defrag. To me, this sounds like "a good problem."

Norton and all other of the same type of programs out there do not share the same "common" issues.

Microsoft is not to blame if a particular software causes issues to a new O/S like WinMe. The 3rd party programmers design software to work with operating systems, not the other way around.... for the most part

jsbush... While I have had only a few minor issues with WinMe, your right... it does desperately need a good patch! However, many of the complaints I read/hear about WinMe are avoidable through proper diagnosis.
