Re: McAfee Virus Clinic

[Mary Ziller <cdslibrary@XOOMMAIL.COM>]

Dear Madeline and Netters,

Mcaffee Clinic is very good, if you do not
disconnect from the Internet.

If you disconnect and need to scan for viruses,
such as with a laptop that does not have internet
connection in a public library (where you cannot
connect to the network) it is problematic, but
doable.

Mcaffee Clinic has free online storage for
programs that you uninstall for when you want to
restore them to your computer.

If you use the computer when it is not connected
to the Internet, you will need to use Antivirus
Scan software in stead of Mcaffee Clinic.  Virus
scan and Clinic are not compatible and can cause
software conflicts, so you must uninstall Virus
Scan before installing Clinic.

Whenever you want to use the virus scan offline,
you can uninstall Clinic and reinstall Virus
scan.  That was my plan in principal, but it is
too complicated to be practical for me.

I like the ease of scanning with Clinic and the
security of always being up to date.  The let you
run 2 copies if one is for a laptop.
