McAfee Service Host Problem

Hi

I have been having the same problem, an error message saying that McAfee Service Host has encountered a problem and needs to close. The main impact seems to be that it stops my internet browser from working (I am still connected to the internet, but when I try to open a new page, or refresh an already open page, it just hangs).

I am using a Dell PC, operating Windows XP.

My internet browser is Google Chrome (I tried to open pages in Firefox when it first happened and that was also affected)

My McAfee is through BT NetProtectPlus

Security Center: v11, build 11.0.623, last update 25/11/11

Virus Scan v15, build 15.0.294, last update 01/12/11, DAT version 6546

Personal Firewall v 3.4, build 3.4.0.143, last update 12/09/11

I will try running the MVT as mentioned above, but would love some feedback in the meantime on how to address this!

Many thanks

Cara Chapman
