The reason for re-installing McAfee is to get a better idea of what caused the problem. If after re-installing, the problem never reoccurs then the McAfee files were probably damaged due to some activity on the computer or a conflict with another application which is no longer occurring. If it does reoccur, then McAfee should be able to trace down the problem.Why should he when Avast is free, does a better job and is no where near the resource hog McAfee is by leaps and bounds.
When removing an application seems to fix a problem, you may be just removing a symptom of the real problem. If possible, it's far better to trace down the problem.
If removing a program resolves the issue and it does not reoccur afterwards then the typical use doesn't give a damn.
File me under typical user . . . But thanks anyway, Flopster.
Actually, the problem was so disconerting that I don't even want to think about it happening again. It was so bad that I was almost unable to uninstall McAfee.
