I will turn off email scanning in the McAfee Secuirty Center to see if this helps the problem. I have an annual contract with McAfee on their security suite and if it's a McAfee problem, then McAfee needs to update their software to fix the problem. If it is McAfee, I can contact them to see if they can provide a fix. Just to completely delete the McAfee Security Center and download another program I don't believe right now is my fix.
