McAfee's Real-Time-Scanner will impact the performance of your
PC. Unfortunately, this is a trait of McAfee that dates back several
years/versions. You might try to update your software and see if
the patches will improve the situation. Otherwise, your only other
option is to uninstall McAfee and purchase a different Anti-Virus
software package. There are a number of Free/Shareware versions
that you can try before deciding.
