Deke:
What VERSION is the software.
The ENGINE should be v4260
The DAT v4309
If you go to: http://www.networkassociates.com/us/downloads/updates/superdat.asp
You can get the SuperDAT EXE file whuch will make sure you have the latest ENGINE and DAT.

| and it would not install(or at least the scan console
| would not start). I took your advice from another post
| and tried it in safe mode. It is presently scanning.
| Among other things, it has found one instance of
| W32/Gaobot.worm.(g)en. The g in parenthesese could be a q,
| I can't be sure, the name is underlined as a link,
| obliterating the tail of the letter.
| The file name is: C:\System Volume Information\_restore
| {***}\RP10\A0005953,exe, where *** is a string of numbers,
| digits, and dashes. I assume this to be a restore point,
| which brings me to a problem(again). I cannot access
| System Restore. When I try, I get an error message, and
| there is no restore tab on the system properties box.
| I'm trying not to ramble, just don't know what is
| important or not.
| One more thing, since this copy of McAfee was "off the
| shelf" I feel that I probably need to update, but I can't
| get on-line in safe mode.
| AV has finished scanning now, and has found another
| instance of the same worm in
| C:\WINDOWS\system 32\wincffg.exe
| Both have been deleted by AV
