Eddy:
Sorry, got sidetracked by the flotsam.
Is McAfee completely removed? (including the registry keys) yes & yes
Is Avast working as it should? To the best of my knowledge, it seems to be working OK.
What OS? XP Home w/service pack 2
What is the ping time for the game server? Knew once, forgot. How do I determine ping ?
What are the settings in Avast? (on-access scanner) If you mean the sensitivity settings, then they are all set to “normal”.

Igor,
Thanks for the tip. I hadn’t used the right click. Much easier than terminating each function individually.
Would like to make at least a few more attempts to fix problem before I uninstall avast.

Any additional help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
x
