Spyware, viruses, & security : strange antivirus behaviour

try this

theres a few programs that i used that are absolutely stunning and work great. Download zonelabs antivirus, and system mechanic professional 9.0. (the links are at the bottom of this page)
You may have a virus that has somehow taken your internet in its control and thats why it only works with virus protection off. The zonelabs program is a antivirus program with a few extras, like a triple layer firewall and internet moniter, but you only have a 15 day trial. If you only want the internet security which is unlimited use and free use the first link. For the full suite try the second link.
Another great program i have used is called system mechanic. It includes kapersky antivirus, disk and ram defragmenter, worm finder, registry mechanic, a program to optimize your internet to the best working settings and much more. It comes with a 30 day trial.
Also Mcaffe isnt the greatest program and doesnt have good definitions of virus's. So try these and i can almost guarentee your computer will work better.

hope this helps,

Josh
