Re: McAfee Total Protection Corrupts Any Browser?

I Have been getting the same problem for last couple of days. Windows 10 and MacAfee (last updated 21 Feb - 2 days ago). Hope to get the fix soon.

Symptoms much as described above. No browser (Chrome, Edge or IE) seemed to work.

Reboot didn't resolve. I found a thread advising to run this command as administrator - netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt  and reboot

That clears it for a while but reoccurs every now and then.

Looking forward to Macaffe fix - If I don't get it soon and it keeps on being a problem I will follow the other advice above and uninstall Macafee

See if the fix posted here helps until the update arrives:

The majority of users in the ClientAnalyticSDK memory leak/High CPU usage threads, are reporting positive performance results on a daily basis, after receiving the update. This includes Windows 7/Windows 10 OS. Just thought I would add that.

Re: McAfee Total Protection Corrupts Any Browser?

Quiet here last 10 days.  Guess the fix is working.  I planned to reinstall once the fix was verified.  But even if official word comes out, I think I will stay with Win 10 Defender.  It does not get as good reviews as most other virus protection systems, but I have found that all 3 of my systems run faster without McAfee. Maybe McAfee tries to do too much and the overhead is costly to overall performance?  I do hope the fix does the job for the sake of others using McAfee.

I do not see ClientAnalyticsService in the services list. Any thoughts?

There is a New Installer Upgrade to 15.1r2 in the pipeline as we speak. Also as long as you are not experiencing any issues, that should not matter. As even one of my Colleagues personal set-up does not have it either. However I do and all is functioning just fine.

Re: McAfee Total Protection Corrupts Any Browser?

When will this be fixed? I've seriously had enough. Imagine trying to do assignments at home when your bloody internet browsers won't work! I thought the problem was my ISP but they've sent an engineer out and checked everything numerous times. They are not the problem. I deleted Chrome thinking it was the browser itself but I have the same problem with both Edge and Firefox. I came across a website that said if you're having problem with your internet to delete McAfee straightaway but I don't want to delete the thing I brought to protect my computer!! I might have to just do it though and just fork out for Norton 😕

My McAfee was updated 2 days ago but the problem persists.

Latest is 16 but can be 14.10.r13 or 15.1.r2. All are in flux and McAfee standardizing on 16 over the next few weeks. As far as i see no current issues with 16 and only an updating issue with earlier versions.

Have you tried an uninstall reinstall?

Remove and reinstall McAfee software
