Problems with McAfee
Since the update 6 months (I'm guessing) ago to the McAfee anti virus that came with my 8400 it's been annoying. You know, the bad update. The McAfee I have has the Comcast logo on the upper-left corner
1. Whenever I log on or come back from screensaver there is this
http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9717/noyj2.jpg and it's been troublesome to have to exit all the time. It says Personal Firewall Plus is out of date. I have 6.0 and it wants me to have 8.0. I don't want to pay for 8.0. I want the pictured problem to go away. I looked everywhere in the McAfee menu thing and couldn't find anything to get it to stop showing up
2. There is an automatic scan that starts up every Friday. I don't want the automatic scan to happen anymore. Again, I have looked everywhere in the menu and couldn't find anything to stop it
Please help, having to exit the little alert 20 times a day is starting to get to me!!
- This might help with the scheduled scan. I have McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007 and in my version if you open the security center, got to configure, then computer and files, then advanced, then schedule scan, there is a box that says enable scheduled scanning. Just uncheck the box and press apply. As for that message that you get, I don't know how to get rid of it, but you might want to look on the McAfee help site forums and post your question there. Or you could uninstall McAfee and use something else. Personally, I have been using McAfee since 2000 and I haven't really had any problems with it. I used to use Norton before that.
