We have a new laptop (HP), i have lots of i-tunes on it, the kids use it etc. We have just managed to go wireless (Via Belkin) and have installed the McAfee security thing, since doing so the computer is sooooo slow, it took 45 minutes to start. I have since disabled half of the McAfee things and it is slightly faster (we have firewall and one other at the mo). Any ideas on how to have security and fast network. Also how do we make the computer secure, at the mo the network is unsecure, seeing as we do a lot of internt work we desperatly need to have a secure line. - Step by step insturctions if you can help please, i can plough through word etc. but setting and networks confuse the hell out of me. Many thanks in advance.

McAfee is to powerful for your laptop and needs to be uninstall and replaced with a low memory usage program like AVG Free.
If you have windows xp or vista then theres a firewall program on it there which doesn't slow down the pc.
If you got vista then you also have windows defender which protects you from spy ware. If you got xp then you need to download this.
This will cover all security on your pc.
The wireless needs be set up with a wpa code on the access point. To do this then type 192.168.1.1 in a internet program. If this won't work then find out your internet ip by using http://whatsmyip.org and use that instead of the 192.168.1.1 this will get you into the wireless settings where you can set up a wireless code.
