PC Pitstop's full tests and spyware scan use information such as the company name, product name, or install directory. If you are unable to identify a file, ask about it in our forums after running our full tests. The forums have a general amount of activity, look through there and decide if you want to run the full test or whatever it is that they claim will work to identify processes. *Tbh they have a really nice tech oriented forum...* --- Right click and open the file location to see where it is at too, and if it's in a totally unrelated file to McAfee, run a scan on it with something, or just remove it. Or post where the file is saved too if it's not in a related file to McAfee before doing anything as well. Apparently it's not recommended to be removed either.

megakiller32 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 McShield looks like Mcafee. If you end it, it will just end your virus scan process. How about you google "McShield[Caution: Executable File]" ? Quit Runescape 30th May 2006.Thanks to Hawkxs for my signature :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 It's part of McAfee. McAfee is resource intensive, so I'd recommend installer something lighter like Avira (free)/NOD32 (pay, with free trial) if it's causing you problems, both are excellent AV software. And having that many processes running at once won't help either. I'd seriously try cutting down the amount of stuff you run at startup. "In the beginning, the universe was created.

Post some sceenshots of your startup processes (start > run > "msconfig" (without quotes) > startup tab). By doing that, we will be able to tell you what you can stop safely, and hopefully increase the speed of your machine. [hide=Funny Quotes]So you sucker punched a kid in the back of the head?

Caxis Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Why do you have AVG and McAfee? You should never have more than one antivirus on your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l0rd Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 its a "run-time" shield used by a [cabbage]ty virus-protection program, probably mcafee, just set your anti-virus program to not have the "shield" on, it basically scans EVERYTHING before you see/open it [iNSERT "I R EATIN TEH SHIX ATM" BILL COSBY SIGNATURE GIF HERE, LOL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzs Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Uninstall McAfail and get a better anti-virus such as NOD 32 or alternatively, a free one such as Avast!. For firewall get COMODO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
