trouble with McAfee

Locked

I just upgraded my year old Dell system to windows 2000 and my McAfee virus scan has started acting up. Whenever I boot up, if I don’t disable it right away (as soon as the Vshield icon appears in the taskbar) my system will reboot. If anyone has any insight to this problem, I would appreciate your help.

Ok. What version of McAfee? 4.0.3 with Service Pack or 4.5.0? The company I am currently contracting with just rolled out Windows 2000 Professional, upgrading from Win95/NT. McAfee requested we upgrade to 4.5.0 and make sure we keep the Scan Engineand DAT’s current. As of this writing it is Scan Engine 4.1.20 and DAT 4.0.4113. Try this newer version. 🙂

Service Pack

There is also a service pack for version 4.5 which will bring you to version 4.5.0.534. I had problems with 4.5 and Windows 98 until I applied the service pack.

McAfee Firewall

In reply to trouble with McAfee

Recently I bought Virus Scan and got Firewall
free. Well I have Windows 2000 and Virus Scan would not work. $150 later their tech told me that the version of software that I was using was not compatible with Windows 2000. He let me download a patch from them and it now works fine. If you have any ideas of how to get firewall to work I’d be glad to hear from you.
