I don't think you need the earthlink totalaccess accelerator. I've never seen where an "accelerator" made much of a difference.

Agree! Everything else looks pretty good to me except that last item. I avoid anthing named McAfee like the plague! :eek: Typically their stuff is a big resource hog and causes all kinds of conflicts. Might convice the owner to remove McAwful and switch to AVG. If they're using the McAwful firewall/security software, try the earlier version (think it's 5.0) of Zone Alarm. Good luck, Carl.

I have them using AVG I will check the registry and remove Mcafee keys.
