McShield.exe process causing severe memory strain

[John]

Have both KazaaPlus and McAfee VirusScan installed. The
McShield.exe process is killing memory. Does this
process belong to one of these apps? How do I minimize
the memory load?

No it doesn't belong to either one,but I have no doubt
that you got it via kazza plus.It is malware,download CWS

Kazaa is your problem..

McShield.exe seems to be part of McAfee Internet Security, ie, anti virus or firewall. It is on my system, but does not use much memory. If you have McAfee on your system, then you may have to alter your scan settings (they may be permanently scanning your system). Don't know about Kazza plus, I've never had it on my computer, so I doubt you got it from there. Visit the McAfee web site, see if anything about McShield.exe is there. Good luck
