Help with McAfee plz

Hi to all Im new to this site/forum and would like some help plz
Just installed Mcafee from BT and I was wondering if anyone else is using it ?
my question is Im trying to find in the settings where you can exclude files/folders/ drives(external) from being scanned  but I cant find it any where in any of the settings
ca anyone help plz
n
thanks in advance

Click on the shield bottom right of screen:
Select Virus and spyware protection
Select Scan your PC
Select Run a custom scan
Then there are a number of options for you to chooses what to scan.
However I would get a different anti virus software as the one thing I do not like about this is that it has a mind of its own when it comes to updates and will update when it wants to which slows the PC down and whatever you do you can not stop the update. This is very annoying if you are trying to do something which is time dependent.

  • VzTech help with McAfee Kudos

    With everything that's been going on with Verizon lately and my dismay with the company I had no anticipations of my new issue being resolved.  However, I must say that the Verizon Technical Support helped me out with McAfee and the VISS.
    The story goes like this,
    When I opened McAfee and went to do the updates it just sat there, did nothing, no circle rotating, just said 0 complete.
    Then I ran the MVT (McAfee Virtual Tech) and it showed 2 major errors that it could not fix:
    1 - would not download the updated database
    2 - Program Subscription Update Needed
    So, I scanned my PC and found nothing, then I rebooted & ran the MVT. Same issues detected by the MVT.
    Next step Verizon online Tech Support.
    After granting the Tech permission to connect to my PC they seen exactly what I said & the errors replicated for them too.
    The Tech asked if I tried a reinstall, no not yet.
    Tech told me to wait while they talked to their backend Tech team on the "Program Subscription Update Needed" issue.
    Tech decided that a conference call was in order.
    They called me & conference with McAfee, and VzTech ended our session.
    McAfee Tech then needed access to my PC, ok.
    It took about 50min with McAfee who ended up uninstalling & reinstalling the software.
    They stayed on the phone with me until the software was fully installed and working again & my PC was secured.
    The whole process from Verizon Tech through McAfee Tech took approximately 1hr and 10min.
    The only issues I had was understanding the heavy Indian accent from the McAfee Tech, but we got through it with a few "excuse me, can you repeat that again". And I wasnt able to save my session info from VzTech as the McAfee Tech closed all the windows in explorer oh well LOL
    Thanks to the Verizon Tech team in assisting with the issues I had and getting it up and running again. Kudos!

  • Help with chat plz

    Hi im really new to java so this question must be kinda easy so plz help
    Im able to connect several clients with threads to a central server but how am i able to send the msgs to all the clients connected?
    Some simple code would be really apreciated.
    thx a lot.

    A Solution can be like this.
    make a static object of class vector in your main server class.
    static vector connections=null;
    If you are unaware of Vector class,refer any JAVA book.
    you may initialise it in your constructor.
    Now whenever your client connects, the thread which will be responsible for handling the connections, adds to the vector object connections. As the object connections is static, you would be able to directly call it and add the hostname of the client which just got connected. It should be something like this....
    mainclass.connections.AddItem( " Hostname" );
    I forgot the vector class methods for adding up items....try refering the same in a book.
    This way you will be able to maintain a list of clients connected on your server.
    Hope this resolves ur problem ..
    Regards

  • Help with Basics PLZ!

    So i'm really bad with Photoshop. I was trying to edit my pic seeing tutorial and understand the step given in this image --
    Plz If any one explain everything I need to do in it!
    How do i paste my image into the canvas? And how do i resize it?

    Hi Vicas.
    Ctrl+C will copy the source image.
    Ctrl+V will paste it into Ps.
    With the Move Tool (V), tic "Show Transform Controls". You will be able to resize the image by dragging a corner. Holding down Shift will maintain the aspect ratio.
    For best results, in your general preferences, choose an Image Interpolation mode approprate to your needs. Enlarging or reducing.

    > i got it to compile now...i can toy around w/
    it..thanks for the help
    Good.
    Stick with this handle, ok?I must say I am not thrilled with
    a) when I questioned the first post of WhiteSox asking if it was bugz or a classmate or what I was ignored by the OP
    b) I guess the OP is trying to distance himself from his very first thread where somebody did part of his homework for him with results that are now plainly evident. As I predicted at the end of the last thread.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=703258 Reply 11
    I hope that matsabigman and others who help homework posters by doing it for them will take note of the results of this help thus far. Not much good has come of this.
    BigMan/WhiteSox I am still detecting a fundamental lack of basic concepts on your part. This is the underlying cause of your compile errors but those are only a symptom. You can continue treating the symptoms but it would be a better use of your time to treat the disease, which in this case means spending some time getting a better grasp of Java fundamentals.

  • Help with RX1600 plz

    Hi, I just bought a new MSI RX1600 PRO and when I installed with the driver that came with it my Windows XP shows two cards in the device manager, one R530 and one R530 Secondary??!!! Also, the 3D Mark 2005 reports the core clock to be 375 when according to the MSI site it should be 500 MHz, and the video memory speed is 0.0 MHz, does any one know whats wrong?

    Yes, 3D Mark is wrong. It is a software issue that even in 3d Mark 06 the problem remains (wrong Core clock, and wrong Memory speed). The Ram speed of my vid card is 700 MHz... 3d Mark show it as 0.0.
    Your vid card is fine. I recommend you to use Everest Home Edition, it will give you a lot information about your whole PC:  http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html

  • Some help with sounds plz ;p

    First of all, congrats for the forum ^^ great ideas here :)
    Well, i'm working with a friend in a multiplayer space combat game (nameless nowdays) implemented with jsdk5. The game uses a thread to update each player object and then repaint a "main" jframe where all the things happen. I was trying to add sounds to the game, so after trying all sort of things i created a Sonido class, with a play(int clip) method that creates a thread whose run() method plays the clip identified by clip. Somethig like this:
            Audioclip[] sonidos;
         public static void play(int clip){
              final int c = clip;
                   Thread reproductor = new Thread(Ship2.mGrafico){
                        public void run(){
                             sonidos[c].play();
              reproductor.start();
         }Even doing that the clip only seems to sounds when i call loop() instead of play(). why? i don't know.

    Check out the bug database.
    Bug ID 5070730, 5085008, 6186076.
    They are all essentially the same bug. What it means is that JDK 1.5/1.6 does not play sounds less than 1 second. If sounds are very important to you don't upgrade until this bug is fixed (or loop until it is). If you need to use JDK 1.5 upgrade whenever there is a new version and hopefully it will be fixed soon. I wouldn't hold my breath though. ;)

  • HT4623 my iphone is not connecting to the computer so i need help with this plz

    my iphone isnt working now that i connected it to restore it to itunes and i cant even connect it

    Try to get your phone into DFU mode if you were planning on restoring anyways.
    1. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
    2. After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
    NOTE***: It may take a few attempts to get your iPhone into DFU mode. Generally, I hold down both buttons then release the Home button just before I think the Apple logo would appear. If you are still holding both buttons down and you see the Apple logo you are holding them down for too long!

  • Help with MVC plz!

    I'm attempting to use Swing components to implement a MVC GUI component.
    It's quite simple, a JFrame contains a Jtree and a JButton. When I click the button I want the model of the JTree to be changed in some way. The changing of the model would then force the view to update itself. I've been trying to get this to work for a day or two and have had no luck.
    Does anyone out there have any simple examples of a simple MVC component that I could see to get a better understanding of what's going on.
    Thx

    maybe this is relevant, in javadocs for AbstractTableModel,
    fireTableStructureChanged
    public void fireTableStructureChanged()
    Notifies all listeners that the table's structure has changed. The number of columns in the table, and the names
    and types of the new columns may be different from the previous state. If the JTable receives this event and its
    autoCreateColumnsFromModel flag is set it discards any table columns that it had and reallocates default
    columns in the order they appear in the model. This is the same as calling setModel(TableModel) on the
    JTable.

  • When i connect i5 to itunes .. i dont get "delete" option for songs upon right click .. can anyone help me with this plz?

    when i connect i5 to itunes .. i dont get "delete" option for songs upon right click .. can anyone help me with this plz?

    Yes, annoying. A couple of options:
    While it's playing the current A song, click on the H song to select it (but not double click to play it), when iTunes jumps to the second A song, press the down key and iTunes will remember that you had that H song selected and will move the selection to the second H song while the second A song is still playing. So, still jumps around, but easy to get back to where you were.
    Create a new playlist for your music, right click on it, select "New Window" and you can browse your music in a second list while the first window continues to play music. But if you then start playing music in that second window, you have to go back to the first window if you want to start browsing again. Not great if you're navigating around to play the next song.
    Play music from iTunes DJ, then as you're browsing around your library, you can add things to play next in DJ, and go back. You can combine this with previous suggestion, to keep DJ open in one window while you browser in the other window.
    None of these are great, but maybe one of these works better than your current workflow.

  • Plz help with my laptop

    hi i just got a powerbook g3 from my ffreind, i think its a lombard because it doesnt have those ports in the back. It has like almmost 5 gbs of space and i got 2gbs left, lol. ok back to the point: im trying to download stuff like limewire and java, but when i download the instalation thing on my laptop and i open it , a screen pops up and says that quicktime cant read this file. and now im trying to figure out what program should i start the insalatikon with? plz help me and be specific where it is located.
    Thanx
    and anyone that plays runescape say something about it. Runescaoppe rocks~~~~~~~lol

    Welcome to the world of Macintosh! Sooo much better then Windows. And of course welcome to the forums! Anyway it sounds like, since your running OS 9, you either have the file formats set wrong or Quicktime cannot play that sort of media file possibly because it doesnt have the right codecs. I suggest updating to Mac OS 9.2.2 which is free for all OS 9 users as it includes newer versions of Quicktime if you dont already have the newest version. Look under Support>Mac OS> Jaguar and Older and you'll see, on the side, Mac OS 9 support. From there you'll see Updates for OS 9 I believe. Something like that I dont remember for sure and cant check now cause im using my crappy Windows PC and it wont let me get on the support page (typical XP)

  • Im DROWNING! need help with a simple java assignment! plz someone help me!

    i need help with my java assignment, with validating a sin number. easy for must who know java. im drowning... please help!

    You will need to store each digit of the social insurance number in a field of its own. To validate the entry you will:
    1. Multiply the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th digit by 2.
    2. If the product of any of the four multiplications result in a value greater than 9, add the two resulting digits together to yield a single-digit response. For example 6 * 2 = 12, so you would add the 1 and the 2 to get a result of 3.
    3. Add these four calculated values together, along with the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th digits of the original number.
    4. Subtract this sum from the next highest multiple of 10.
    5. The difference should be equal to the 9th digit, which is considered the check digit.
    Example of validating S.I.N. 765932546
    1st digit 7
    2nd digit (6*2 =12 1+2=) 3
    3rd digit 5
    4th digit (9*2 = 18 1+8 =) 9
    5th digit 3
    6th digit (2*2 = 4) 4
    7th digit 5
    8th digit (4*2 = 8) 8
    Total 44 next multiple of 10 is 50
    50-44 = 6 which is the 9th digit
    Therefore the S.I.N. 765932546 is Valid
    ********* SIN Validation *********
    Welcome - Please enter the first number: 120406780
    Second digit value multiplied by 2 4
    Fourth digit value multiplied by 2 8
    Sixth digit value multiplied by 2 12
    Eighth digit value multiplied by 2 16
    Value derived from 6th digit 3
    Value derived from 8th digit 7
    The total is 30
    Calculated digit is 10
    Check digit must be zero because calculated value is 10
    The SIN 120406780 is Valid
    this is my assignemtn this is what i have! i dont know where to start! please help me!

  • Help with substitution decryption plz!!

    Hi there,
    I'm relatively new to developing with Java, and as a piece of work I have to decrypt a cipher text (which is quite long, near 11,500 characters) that has been encrypted with substitution and is in english.
    It consists of upper case letters, and some punctuation symbols, although whether they will actually function as punctuation i'm not sure; they seem to be just breaking the cipher into chunks of the alphabetic characters, and not in any uniform manner (eg every 12 characters). I did think maybe they'll be where spaces will need to go but that would be a little obvious, and some 'chunks' are too large for that to even make sense (over 50 characters). Maybe they're just a kind of wildcard to make it more complicated to analyse.
    As i understand it i need to use frequency tables_. I want to deduce the letters for those that have a unique frequency (to be sure i've not substituted with the wrong letter if/when there is a few to choose from at the frequency). I think i know how to do this;
    use 2d arrays-
    -- one for the frequency table i'll compare the cipher text against
    -- i have a few examples of these from the internet that i'll base it on,
    since i don't have a piece of the original plaintext to analyse.
    -- is there a better way to get the frequency for comparison? There is some variation in the tables i've managed to find so.
    -- another table for storing the analysis of the cipher text
    The dimensions will be the frequency, and the character.
    For the character, do I need to use ASCII representation? or would it be ok just using characters. Just figured i need to convert the ASCII back into characters to an output file is all. Is there an implemented way to do this conversion in Java easily? I've not had to work with it before so.
    Once i've done that part, I understand I need to use a wordlist_ to try and find words in what i've decrypted so far, and try to further the decryption with this also; ie if i find a word which adds new characters, add those new characters to the whole cipher. When finding words would i need to represent the cipher i'm working on with just the characters i have deduced, and say '_' as a character to represent one we don't yet have? eg if we had substituted B and T in, and the word being represented was 'better' would i need to hunt for words with a representation like this-> BETTE_ for example.
    Hope that bit made sense!!! lol.
    Also, i need to insert spaces where relevant (after a discovered word i suppose).
    This is the part that is most troubling me, any ideas of where to start?
    Firstly, i've not been able to find any wordlist's on the internet, know any sources? Is there a way i could use a dictionary stored on my computer elsewhere? say the dictionary from openOffice? I haven't worked with dictionaries or wordlists before so, any help with this part will greatly improve my understanding/progress.
    Is there an implemented way to do this any of this in Java easily? I'm using the Eclipse IDE just so you know.
    That's my thoughts and questions for the moment, might have more after i hear advice (sorry if it's rather long, just want to be clear).
    Hope you can help,
    Thanks in advance!
    ps. what is the text called you have when you have decrypted it? simply the decryption text? or just plaintext again? is there a term for when it's part way decrypted? like it's not the plaintext yet?
