Have there been any major changes to the On Access Acanner recently.
I've started getting major delays (over a minute) starting a program called Family Historian. (FH.exe)
On Access Scanner CPU shoots to nearly 50% and over 100MB.
No problem with other programs.
Delay goes away if I add that program to the excluded list.
The program hasn't changed for over a year.

What McAfee software are you using Bill? Just a name & version number if possible would help.

Windows 8.1.

There are two things to try then.
1. Make sure permissions are full in Web and Email Protection > Firewall > Internet Connection for Programs and you could experiment there with tuirning off Netguard to see if that makes a difference also.
2. Submitting the software for clearance, although it hasn't exactly been quarantined I suspect it is being identified as a PUP. See HERE.
