McAfee, V18.0. McF has been updated but I have been using it for a few years. The freeze happens 90% of the time I try to do it but once and a while it works. I have checked the "attach dir" and it points to a dir on the HD, not a NAS dir.

I had a look at McF and realtime scanning is off. I cannot see many of the suggested routes through McF to check/turn items off.I just do not see the key words. Is there a realtime debugger to help with this?
