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

i'v run mcafee 7 for ages no problems here

sharing the same port ? errrrr no :)
