Can't say for sure, but can say this... the ONLY software I hate more than McAfee is AOL. It messed many things up and took forever to fully remove just like AOL. (Provided uninstall for both do a half assed job of it)
Hayward,

I couldn't agree more!!!! Unfortunately, I need to know of the workings and behavior of this application so I can address any issues that may arise with my clients use of this product.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply...

I have disabled the firewall and I still lost 50% of my normal upload speed. The only reason I am looking at the firewall is that the only change I made recently was the installation of McAfee Firewall 4. I thought that once I disable the firewall the issue would be resolved. So, if it is the firewall causing the problem then the issue is in an area that I'm not familiar with.

Eventually I will uninstall the firewall to determine for sure if it is the culprit. For now I am going to hold off in the hope that someone visiting this forum can help.

Don't know squat about McAfee but wonder if it is trying to scan everything your sending out roadblocking the upstream?

  The reason why I titled this loss of upload speed "strange" is that it only occurs on my Win 98 partition. (I am running three OS's) My upload and download speeds have been remarkably consistent for the past two years. The only ("only") change I made was to install McAfee 4.0 Firewall on the 98 partition. (No, I am not a fan of this product but I needed to "take it for a spin"!). Could this program be the culprit? If yes, then why would it only effect the upload?

Thanks
