Thanks for that clarification. Much appreciated.
I mentioned the same earlier on (Somewhere in this Verbose thread)...Sigh. When a discussion becomes so long, users and readers tend to get lost in Translation. Which ends up in us repeating ourselves unnecessarily.
Just my take on things..There (is) a fix in the process of being applied. No need for us to keep saying so...
In addition I added the instructions on how to temporally avoid the performance issues.
Now I digress.....
Please see the following in the original thread:
Note: Follow the instructions explained as a work-around, until the (Fix) has been completed.
Open up the Windows Start Screen or Start Menu, type in services.msc and hit the Enter key to bring up the Services panel. Double-click on ClientAnalytics, and change the drop-down to Disabled. Reboot your computer. It should not compromise your computer security. Then wait while McAffe issues the new revision of its software."
Then you MUST restart the PC. Disabled is under the "startup type" column. This means it takes effect at startup.
All tricks on how to close the service, does not help me. Neither of them worked on my computer.
Finally setting status to disabled and using taskkill to stop it did work ok.
It may be frustrating having to repeat yourself as new people sign onto the forum and follow this thread but, your efforts are appreciated. I believe the widespread interest in this topic shows the pervasive nature and severity of the problem.
I, for one, would like to thank all the participants and moderators for following up with all the queries and providing all the diagnostic data for the McAfee developers. Without you, not only would I be down, I would have no hope for a forthcoming fix.
I'm sure the developers are diligently working on a resolution to this problem and I know the moderators and participants will provide us with timely status updates.
Again, thanx for your efforts!

Hi,
Just to add my voice to the other users on this thread... I've been experiencing issues for a few days and managed to trace it back to this root cause..... followed the instructions here and all good again... will wait on the proper fix from McAfee...
Thanks for the help...
Kind regards,
Ron.
- how will we know when the "fix" is available - will you or Peacekeeper be posting in this thread or will there be an announcement direct from McAfee to all customers? I'm only asking because I'm still not allowing software updates from McAfee until I know definitively that the Analytics SDK issue is fixed.
We will be told and pass it onto all relevant threads. That is the intention. WE always ask about the state of the fix in our Monday (US) calls but no call this week so I will email the tech looking after this issue later on this week.
