I have a new laptop and now I have these problems...
Most internet pages don't open
The computer is very slow
I can't open McAfee security at all
I can't open the page to the virus removal service for Mcafee
The things I have done that may be the cause:
1. Attached a external hard drive which had stopped working when my old computer and monitor stopped working.
2. Tried to make my computer go "faster" and did
3. Refreshed my computer
4. Restored my computer
Solved! Go to Solution.

I suppose next thing is check for malware
Try getsusp make sure you add your email address to the preferences so McAfee can update you if they find and fix anything and Malwarebytes make sure it is the free version not the free trial.
Sounds like malware re the security sites not loading see what the programs find.
In the link PK just posted you will see, under Free 3rd Party Tools - MalwareBytes Free, follow the instructions there to download, update and run it in Safe Mode with Networking.
Or follow its instructions for Chameleon.
Some infections prevent you from going to certain help pages by design but you could try this one: McAfee Virus Removal Service - Remove viruses, trojans, malware from your PC | McAfee
Moved this to Malware Discussion > Home User Assistance as a better spot for it.
The link I just posted didn't work? We just explained that some infections prevent you going to certain help pages by design and we pointed out some steps you can take to stop that, then you should be able to go there.
No that link didn't work, but thanks though. Do you know an email address or phone number I can contact for support?
From the link PK posted try this one in Safe Mode with Networking - : https://www.malwarebytes.org/chameleon/
Running it should rid you of a lot of stuff and hopefully make those pages accessible.
Are you in Australia?
Yes I am in Australia, sorry I should have mentioned that.
