Open question to anyone in the group.

A few days ago I downloaded McAfee to set up a firewall. Once it was

installed

the SETI@Home program slowed to a snails pace. I turned McAfee off and the
program was still slow so I uninstalled the McAfee and now SETI is running
fine. Has anyone else experienced this and if you have is there a

workaround?

Jeff,

What Version on Mcafee are you using?  I've heard similiar complaints about
Mcafee 7.0 clashing with SETI@Home 3.08.

I've Run Mcafee 6.0 with both Seti@Home versions 3.03 and 3.08 for a couple
years now without any problems or clashes.

I suspect that Mcafee 7.0 and SETI are sharing the same port, and causing
said clash. Perhaps setting up a cacheing program and thus forcing SETI to
use a port of your choice will fix this issue.  But I'm just reaching here.
Hopely someone else on this forum will have a little more expertise.

Good Luck

SC
