McAfee SystemGuard shuts down Publisher 2000! HELP!!!

[dstewart20]

OPSys: Windows XP
Publisher version 2002

A few months ago McAfee was updated on my computer. When I tried to open my
Publisher (v. 2002) files McAfee SystemsGuard would shut it down or lock up
my computer. I temporarily loaded an old version of Publisher on my
computer, however, I could not open my old files nor did it offer the same
abilities to do certain functions so I could not duplicate some of my
documents.

Yesterday, I reinstalled version 2002. The same thing started happening.
While I was once again able to open my previous files, it would immediately
lock up and try to shut down. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do
(other than purchase another version -- they are not cheap!)? Please Help!!!

Why muck with Publisher if McAfee is the culprit???
Turn McAfee off to confirm, then investigate McAfee.

I could not figure out how to shut down McAfee. This new upgrade is a
monster. I thought when I disabled SystemsGuard that would do it. It
didn't. I am confused as to why it only happens to the Publisher 2002
version as opposed to the earlier version I temporarily installed. I will
check with McAfee as well.

The only message that occurred was this: McAfee SystemsGuard needs to shut
down this program, sorry for the inconvenience. Do you want to report this
to Microsoft? Then it either shuts down and restarts the program or freezes
my computer. If it does restart Publisher, I get the same message.

Both Norton and McAfee have become overgrown clunkers in the past few years.
I use AVG (excellent)...and I bet that will become a clunker in a few years
as well.

Rob,

With the advent of Windows Vista, Microsoft has shut out those that muck
around with the operating system. Remember the full page ad in one of the
New York papers by Norton and McAfee crying foul! AVG never did..
