Hi Rich,
Do you have any zipped contents inside your hard drive ? Also, do you have the option for Scan using Minimal resources enabled within McAfee security center ?
Can you let us know if the McAfee scan stops or seems halted at any particular location ??
Please find the steps to enable Scan using Minimal resources
When you disable Scan Using Minimal Computer Resources, your scan speed should increase.
