I have been running Seti 3.08 on a Windows 98 machine for years. Last
week I installed broadband and yesterday I installed McAfee Firewall
Plus 5.0.5.7 (broadband suppliers suggested I need a firewall and I am
already using McAfee VirusScan and Spamkiller)
The effect was to slow Seti to a crawl.
Does anybody know if this can be cured by switching to BOINC?

I would think that your Firewall needs to be setup to stop checking
Seti everytime it tries to do something. My Seti slowed when I first
installed Norton anti-virus and stayed slow until I excluded that
directory from its checking. I am now back up to full speed.
Your Mcafee could be having the same problems.
