Re: McAfee vs SETI@home version 3.08

I have been running Seti 3.08 on a Windows 98 machine for years. Last
week I installed broadband and yesterday I installed McAfee Firewall
Plus 5.0.5.7 (broadband suppliers suggested I need a firewall and I am
already using McAfee VirusScan and Spamkiller)
The effect was to slow Seti to a crawl.
Does anybody know if this can be cured by switching to BOINC?

Jeff,
What Version on Mcafee are you using? I've heard similiar complaints about
Mcafee 7.0 clashing with SETI@Home 3.08.
I've Run Mcafee 6.0 with both Seti@Home versions 3.03 and 3.08 for a couple
years now without any problems or clashes.
I suspect that Mcafee 7.0 and SETI are sharing the same port, and causing
said clash. Perhaps setting up a cacheing program and thus forcing SETI to
use a port of your choice will fix this issue. But I'm just reaching here.
Hopely someone else on this forum will have a little more expertise.
Good Luck

Open question to anyone in the group.
A few days ago I downloaded McAfee to set up a firewall. Once it was installed
the SETI@Home program slowed to a snails pace. I turned McAfee off and the
program was still slow so I uninstalled the McAfee and now SETI is running
fine. Has anyone else experienced this and if you have is there a workaround?
