Hi

I have McAfee Security Cente installed on my PC (for over a year now) and
have recently moved up to SP2 of XP. With the features of XP2, is there any
point in still using McAfee? I have had some strange occurences with Hotmail
recently where mail that is definietely not Junk (sometimes even entered into
my Safe area) is going into Junk. I do not know if this is due to some
conflict between the 2 sets of security. Additionally, McAfee takes ages to
load so I will he fairly happy not to have to use it.

Many thanks
Peter
