How to stop McAfee blockingand removing trojans andviruses? |
|
I'm trying to download this
program that McAfee thinks is
a trojan or a virus so it
automatically blocks and
removes it from my computer.
How do I make it so it won't
block the program? |
 |
Hello.
With respect,and no offence
intended,McAfee blocks and
removes trojans and viruses
because they are a real danger
to your computer.
If you were to succeed in
bypassing the McAfee as
suggested,you could be
downloading more than trojans
and viruses.You could be about
to unpack a file full of bugs
which could simply make your
hard-drive and operating
system unworkable.I know,I've
done it!
Think of it this way.If a
burglar was hammering at your
door wanting to get in and
burgle your home and the only
thing preventing him/her
entering your home is a locked
front-door,would you suddenly
let him/her into your home?
No,of course you wouldn't,but
you're quite prepared to let
this packet of bugs into your
computer.
Madness.

My McAfee security center istelling me I need to reinstallit. How do I do it? |
|
I have been using McAfee
security center for my
computer for the last few
years with no problems. Now it
is telling me that in order to
fix it, I need to uninstall
and reinstall the program. I
don't think I received a CD to
install it initally. How do I
go about reinstalling McAfee? |
|
You must go to the mcafee
website.
Go to "home users" (not
business users etc)
The look for the "my account"
option.
You will need to sign in.
Once you are signed in you
will see a download link that
will automatically complete
the installation for you.
The login details will be
Username: your email
Password: whatever you chose. |

McAfee??????????? |
|
Um.. the McAfee Site Advisor

I went to the McAfee website
and downloaded it for free. It
is still not there. i got rid
of spybot b/c i thought that
it blocked it or something,
but its still not there. any
suggestions? |

No antivirus or antispyware
protection is perfect but a
good mixture of the two will
help you clean your system and
hopefully keep it clean.
Be advised that some
infections will corrupt or
disable your resident security
products so for completeness I
have listed a few online scans
that may help you:
Norton -
http://security.symantec.com/s
scv6/defau...
Panda -
http://www.pandasoftware.com/p
roducts/Ac...
Trend -
http://housecall.trendmicro.co
m/
Suggest you download, update
and run a full scan using the
following product:
http://www.superantispyware.co
m/
SuperAntiSpyware will remove
the majority of difficult
Trojans not just the easy
ones.
If possible it is recommended
that you load the application
in normal mode but run it in
Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be
started by continually
pressing F8 during the boot
sequence. However, if you are
badly infected you might need
to run SuperAntiSpyware more
than once to help clean your
system. If the only infections
now being shown are in System
Restore, once you are
completely satisfied that you
can boot normally, you can
either delete the infected
restore points manually, or
temporarily turn off System
Restore.
In addition I suggest you
download, update & run Avira.
Unlike a lot of the free
antivirus applications this
will give you real time
protection and is very quick
to load at boot up.
http://www.avira.com
Assuming you have some real
awkward infections and the
suggestions above failed to
finally clean your system I
suggest you download a
Smitfraud removal program
from:
http://www.afterdawn.com/softw
are/desktop_software/desktop_s
ecurity/smitfraudfix.cfm
Again if possible run in Safe
Mode.
Good luck & safe surfing.
