This is a newsgroup for web server administrators, not Internet Explorer
questions.

I would recommend using a different antivirus, McAfee is lousy and costs a
lot of money. They also seem to have problems writing web pages where
people can download software from without problems.

Norton is my favorite. There are even free antivirus programs out there.

If you really want McAfee, try contacting their technical support at
www.mcafee.com

Which antivirus should I choose?

Antivirus software can be found using the links below:

www.symantec.com [Norton Antivirus]
www.grisoft.com [AVG Antivirus [including a free version]
www.f-prot.com/products [free DOS version]
www.f-secure.com [F-Secure]
www.trendmicro.com [Trend Micro]
www.wilders.org
www.download.com
www.tucows.com

[Most of the antivirus products will also work on Windows Server products or
have a version for Windows Server.]

There are also a number of web sites that will scan your computer for
viruses for free. However, using these web sites will do nothing to protect
you against future re-infection and damage to your computer files. Some of
these web sites include:

http://security2.norton.com [Norton free one-time web-based scanner]
http://housecall.antivirus.com [Trend Micro free one-time web-based scanner]

Just running an antivirus program is not enough. You should make sure that
your antivirus program can be configured to download updates every day [or
every week] automatically via the Internet, and open the program from time
to time to ensure that it is still receiving updates.
