All upper case characters are difficult to read. This is why major
publications rarely use all upper case for anything. Not to mention that on
the Intnernet - many consider all upper case the same as walking into a room
and yelling at the top of their lungs whatever it is they want to say - when
they are one foot from you.

First - I would personally advice against using McAfee. There are many
other free options out there that are - in my opinion - better.
However - having said that - I may be able to help you if you provide more
information.

- What operating system are you running? (If XP - Home or Pro?)
- Can you install other software?
- What patch level are you at with your OS?
- What does Verizon DSL say when you talk to their support?
