i'm switching from norton to mcafee 2007 and was wondering if its safe to let mcafee run while i copy and burn DVDs? Norton gave me problems! it was ok if turned norton off! i have HP pivilion AMD athlon XP 3100+ 2.20 ghz 448 mb of ram!
I would suggest disabling your internet connection, and Mcafee while making your backups. McAfee 2007 uses a lot of resourses, and your pc is not a powerhouse. (especially in the ram department) You could probably rip to hd with McAfee running, but I would definitly turn it off before burning anything.
I let McAfee run on mine without problem. I've got a P4 2.66, 3mb DSL, but I do have 1536mb of RAM. I used to have Norton once upon a time, but found it was too CPU intensive and switched to McAfee.
