McAfee Slows File Open/Browse/Save

When I try to Open/Browse/Save a file in an program (eg Windows Explorer,
Word etc) my system hangs for about 10-15 seconds before proceeding. I've
tracked it down to McAfee Virusscan 7 Pro which I only installed a couple of
days ago, as the problem disappears when I disable it. I suspect that it
the system scan which is doing it.

1. Is this a known problem with McAfee Virusscan and is there anything I can
do to fix it?

2. Is it possible to turn-off system scan and only have email scan?

Any help would be appreciated.

that's probably a safe thing to say... you do realize, of course, that
connecting to the internet puts you on a network...
