Hi,
I have McAfee and it constantly says I am not protected. I have to verify my subscription several times a day. Then do the update. When I start the computer and click owner it takes a long time to open the desktop. When I click explorer icon it takes a long time to open. The light on the tower blinks or stays on often and then it freezes and the not protected notification comes on. I followed the procedures sent to kderm. Enclosed are the results.

Howdy and welcome to GTG:

I would strongly suggest adding enough ram to your system to bring it up to 1GB.

As it stands, you only have 256 megs with 32 megs of that dedicated to your onboard video.

XP will eat the majority of what's left for itself leaving very little for anything else. No wonder the system is slow.

Also try either Avast or Avira for AV.
Both are free and do just as good if not better then what you have. Both of which you can download from my signature below.
Another point is that McAfee is a resource hog which in turn will also slow your system down.
Both the above two are easier on your system.
