I recently installed the latest McAfee Firewall and Virus scanner programs, updated with the newest dat files. Virus scanner seems ok, but the Firewall was causing my machine to hang on shutdown something wicked. I found out that the Firewall was hanging it by shutting off one by one every program that was allowed run during start up. I isolated it to this program, I can easily reproduce the problem by renabling it. Is their any solution (other than using Norton or ZA)?? thanks in advance
 
Thanks, after a little research, found out that McAfee scans the floppy on shutdown (by default). This feature was disabled, works great.
