Scheduling virus scans

[rjmaslo]

We have McAfee on our desktop PC. Scans on our machine seem to occur at random intervals and take FOREVER to compete. While the scan is in progress, anything else on the PC, even email, is almost impossible to do.

How do I make these happen in the middle of the night?? I have looked thru the McAffee center that comes up on my machine and don't see a scheduling option.

Thanks for any help.

Simple solution is remove Mcafee it is rubbish and get another AV program. I know its not the answer you were looking for but it is the best thing to do.

Free

I recommend the following


Anti Vir


Paid

Kaspersky or NOD32.


hope this helps.

Install a quad core CPU with 8Gb ram & 64bit OS ... it should help.
