My mother recently bought a shiny new dell with Windows Vista on it. I recently got my fingers on it, and it’s pretty darn alright. But I had one problem:
starting uTorrent was causing the system to slow down and also drop http traffic…

After consulting a friend we found out he had the same problem some months ago. The solution was simple: uninstall mcafee.

So I uninstalled mcafee, and now my linux iso download is blazing. :-)

Btw, you REALLY SHOULD install some other AV after uninstalling mcafee. I’ve been pleased with Avast which is free. Also I’ve heard good words about AVG, Avira and Nod32 (this is one of the best, but payware).
