Thanks for responding everyone. The reason why I have DMZ set is because I'm way too lazy to do port forwarding for every app that needs it. I feel confident that McAfee can protect my computer well enough. I wouldn't mind doing some port forwarding for a system that has a constant set of apps, but I do so much installing and uninstalling of different software, that it would really be a hassle to configure port forwarding every time.
I'll try doing all the stuff that you suggested. I reformatted one of my hds, installed windows on it, and am in the process of configuring it right now, so I hope I'll figure out the problem very soon.
