This makes three people that I am aware of with dialup access issues related to McAfee. The cases are:
Myself - Using XP SP3 with both CompuServe (CS2000 and Dialer) software as well as a test using Juno. In all cases , part way in the connection process , the system freezes completely , but no BSOD.
CS2000 user (reported in their forum) - The user did not get the freeze or BSOD , but rather the connection process stopped part way through and then the system auto rebooted. Also using McAfee and XP.
Bob2011 (details above)
All of the issues seem to have started with a major update back in late May or early June.

Dell Dimension 8200, circa 2002
MS Windows XP Home, Version 2002, SP3
First BSOD after restart following install of new McAfee download (there is another image following this one)
Restart and then this BSOD
I can't see a way to attach the min-dump file or I would.

Be careful Mcafee and registry cleaners can cause issues such as an idispatch error.

This works but only for that session. Everytime she restarts her computer she has to "restore defaults" within mcafee to get online.
What defaults are restored by this? How do we fix this permanently?

She is restoring defaults for mcafee's firewall if that helps. Windows firewall is turned off.

i have tried all of these fixes to no avail. the only reason that i am still using McAfee on one of my computers is because it was a present from a friend of mine. my other computers are running different AV programs ( 1 with trend and the other with Kaspersky) i am having NO problems with either of these programs or computers so IT IS McAfee causeing the problem.
it seems for the past 4 years i have had trouble with McAfee working with my Internet Provider.

Netzero seems to be a common issue
See if that solves anything.
