Microsoft Outlook Freezing

[Boarder1]

Guys,

I'm running Microsoft Outlook with Windows 7 Pro.

When Outlook checks for new emails, the screen freezes for about 10 seconds and then goes white, then after another few seconds returns to normal.

This only ever seems to happen when it checks for emails, anyone got an idea how to resolve this?

Thanks

My emails all come through, its just Outlook freezes / I get a white screen when its getting the emails.

Yes, running Mcafee virus software, funnily when a virus scan is running the email basically grinds to a halt. Should i change virus software?

Pc is only 2 years old, so not severely out of date.

But will look at another virus software.

Thanks!
