incopatibility with Mcafee

[Henry Elliott]

I am having problems with McAfee and Outlook. It appears as though they are
not getting along well together and haven't found out how to solve the
problem. My wifes computer had McAfee protection on it. MS Outlook would not
send email. They would come back to Outlook with some message about not being
able to be sent. I remove McAfee for the simple reason it slows down the
system and isn't user friendly. MS Outlook now sends email. The wife freaks
out about her system not being protected. After sending many email from
Outlook with no McAfee, I reinstall McAfee back on her computer. Now that
McAfee has been reinstalled, no email will send again. I have checked out all
the paramiters I know of to turn off this problem. Can anyone out there help?
Thank You. Henry

It's pretty clear that your issue is with McAfee and not Outlook. As always
I would recommend disabling the virus integration with Outlook. The
on-access-scanner and default Outlook security is sufficient; integrating is
redundant and only causes additional overhead and issues as you've noticed.

Thank you for the information. I do believe that redundant software is a
great issue with CPU computation and speed also. Again, Thank you..
