McAfee is one option. But it is patching the symptoms of a problematic o/s.
There is however a better option. More secure. And less expensive. It is called Linux.
And unlike Windows, it is used as o/s by over 90% of the 500 biggest and fastest computer clusters in the world. Which kinds of ask the question - why would some still want to use Windows as a server o/s for running non-Microsoft software that is not locked into the Windows o/s? When there is a proven and better alternative?

Updated McAfee anti-virus, Computer turned off and now it won't boot past windows

I have a HP Pavilion P6000 Series
Model #P6520f
AMD Athlon II 633 Quad-Core
6GB DDR3
1 Terabyte HD
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I was installing updates for McAfee anti-virus, and suddenly the power went out. After a few hours the power came back on and when I turned the computer back on it went straight to disk repair, which I also waited for to run another two hours. I then turned it off and back on but I can't get past the Windows display.

Hello screwdriver08,
Are you able to boot the system into safe mode? If we can get into safe mode then we know that it's a program causing your issue. If we can't get into safe mode then the operating system is the issue.

Mozilla Firefox is my internet browser, I would like to download my McAfee Anti-Virus protection DVD.

I have a new Window 7 Premium Home Edition,Model: Inspiron 560. It came with a 30 day free trail of McAfee Anti-Virus Protection, which expires in less than three days. Roughly, two weeks ago, I received in the mail from QVC, a DVD, named PC Treasures, Inc.-Total PC Software Suite, which has my four year McAfee Anti-Virus Protection program on it.
I was told by one of those so-called Dell experts techs, to install that DVD, into the tray of your modern, a small box would appear in the left-hand bottom of your screen, and type in "RUN". Nothing happened!!! Now,the PC that I had for 15 years, did this, but with this new one, not the same.What do I do, in installing or down loading this DVD? I could use a step by step instructions.

This does not sound to be a Firefox problem.
An obvious question is does your machine play DVDs ?
You will probably need to be in an admin account.
You should be able to use your Firefox browser to find assistance.

( If the DVD is provided by and bought from Dell you may need to contact them that is apparently http://support.dell.com/ )

McAfee Anti-virus Program

Where do I find the link to reload the free McAfee anti-virus program? My current application has corrupted after 3-4 years of working properly.

DO NOT INSTALL! It is incredibly bloated and WILL slow your system down dramatically. It will also disable ALL networked printers and filesharing (even local). It is obtrusive and should not be considered a "benefit" at all.

How to uninstall Mcafee anti-virus from my machine because of machine bootup is taking too much of time for usage?

Hi,
How to uninstall Mcafee anti-virus from my machine because of machine bootup is taking too much of time for usage? so that i moved all mcafee related file to trash but while machine boot up mcafee showing and asking Authentication so any one give me better suggestion on this.
Thanks in advance,
Suresh Balakrishnan

Hi All,
i uninstalled AV successfully using as below mentioned links:
Moved to VirusScan Other where hopefully an expert can help you.
Until they do I Googled 'How to uninstall VirusScan 8.6 for MAC' and got this as one of the many choices: https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB54975
There are also uninstall instructions in the User Guide: https://kc.mcafee.com/resources/sites/MCAFEE/content/live/PRODUCT_DOCUMENTATION/ 22000/PD22134/en_US/VirusScan%20for%20Mac%208.6.1%20User%20Guide%20Addendum.pdf
By condemning files to the bin you may have scotched any automated method of removal but I will defer to the experts on that.
Thanks lot,

How do I install the free mcafee Anti virus for I pad?

I don't know how to find and install the Free Mcafee Anti Virus software for my IPad.

You don't need antivirus or security software as long as you don't Jailbreak your iPad.
Currently there's no known virus affecting iPad.

McAfee Anti Virus software

Hi all,
I want to know if the McAfee anti virus software in Z1 is a trial version or full version.
Thanks in advance, Kamaraj

I think its a trial version.As far as i know AVG Pro antivirus is indeed full version.
But sir,it is not recommended to install anti virus as it would make changes in settings without you noticing,thus might causing software issues later.
But if you are a frequent internet user,and download alot of stuffs.Then it is adviced to installed it.
This is just an advice

Best practices configuring anti virus in oracle application server machine

Hi all !
i need to install mcafee 8.7patch3 antivirus software in the server that runs Oracle Application Server 10g R1 (9.0.4)
Server is an hp proliant dl 580 g2 running windows 2003 enterprise edition sp2.
I need to hear from your experience , wich files/paths/configs to exclude from anti-virus so i keep server performance ??
Best regards
Rui Madaleno

Hi Rondey,
Ik think that I can see your probleem.
Just change the following line at your httpd.conf, then restart the component.
First of all if the port is installed with nr. 7777. then the listen process will be on port 7778
the second thing is just try to do the following steps
((Port 80 to Port 7777)))
Listen 7778
%%%% In loadbalancer section %%%%%%
just add the following lines
Listen 80
Listen 8103
Listen 8102
NameVirtualHost *
NameVirtualHost *:8103 or 80
If you want to use this ports (8103 or 8102) for other site (url), then
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName <machine ip> or (host name)
Hear from U,
Regards,
Hamdy

SCCM and Mcafee anti virus

Hi all,
we have been running SCCM for about 5 years now, both 2007 and now 2012 versions and in that time our only Anti Virus product has been Mcafee (unfortunately in my mind). over this time we have had no issues with the AV blocking anything to do with
SCCM but in the last 2 or 3 months I'd say, I have noticed a few issues that I initially thought to be issues with Microsoft security updates, but have subsequently realised it is in fact Mcafee causing the issue.
basically what seems to be happening, and I have only noticed this on Windows 7 and server 2008 computers (don't have many win 8 computers yet to notice if there is a problem there too), is that when software updates are advertised to a computer and installed,
the updates install perfectly well but when it comes to the reboot phase, the computers start to boot, generally get to about 32% of applying the updates and then do another reboot, then try to carry on the software configuration bits only for them to
uninstall themselves again. if I look in the windowsupdate.log there will be numerous errors regarding being able to apply the updates with access denied errors with associated error code 0x800007005 or something like that and if I look at the corresponding
logs in mcafee, they tie up with the timestamps of the access denied messages in the windowsupdate.log and blocking messages in Mcafee AV.
If I disable mcafee service, install the updates with SCCM, reboot etc etc. they install fine, reboots fine, applies updates during boot sequence fine etc. no problem
if I use windows updates via the control panel instead of SCCM, the updates also, install fine.
so.... after all that background my question is this.....
what other SCCM files, other than ccmexec.exe should my security team be putting in the exclusion lists for Mcafee that could be causing it to roll back the Microsoft Updates installed via SCCM 2012?
ie. why will the AV allow normal windows update to install the MS updates but block SCCM from doing this?
also, I would have thought that after the updates have been installed by SCCM and it reboots the computer or the user manually reboots, at that point SCCM ceases to be part of the equation and the computer should just update the registry etc as required
without AV blocking it.... is there any part of SCCM that could be causing AV to block the final stages of applying the updates during the boot process? it seem unlikely, however there is no question there is a relationship between the two based on my testing
outlined above...
anyone who may have come across as well and have any pearls of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
regards
douglas

thank you Gerry, appreciate the response.
I notice most of the recommendations refer to the actual SCCM servers themselves in order to increase performance.
My particular problem is around the clients rolling back updates due to anti virus software not liking something to do with SCCM at the moment. I notice there is reference to the softwaredistribution folder which is probably worth checking out with
the security team that that folder is not being scanned, but not sure if that would be why the updates are not installing as this issue is a relatively new issue and I would have noticed that a long time ago.
thanks again for the post and I'll get those added. if anyone else has experienced this issue with clients not installing updates due to Antivirus software, would appreciate any help?
thanks

McAfee ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM THROUGH VERIZON

Hello Everyone! I have been with Verizon since "the beginning of time". I signed up for the Broadband Essentials as soon as they were offered. I have been experiencing technical difficulties for some time now. I took my computer to Best Buy to have it professionally scanned because I discovered that I had a malware that had attached to my computer-via on line banking. I discovered via my scan by Best Buy representative that I have viruses, malware and so forth. Now what a surprise after all I thought that Verizon had my back. Such a headache. I am don't another scan to see if McAfee finds it my money is not on McAfee.
I tried to get a hold of Verizon representative regarding this matter and it is my understanding that you have to go to your account to take care of these matters. You can not get a representative to take over your computer to fix. And McAfee charges to remove virus, This seems side ways to me because I pay each month for virus and malware to so forth in my Broad band essential packages and after the program allows these in I pay to get them removed? Any thoughts? Stressed out. Barb

I am sorry to hear about the computer troubles you are having. I have sent you a private message to get more information from you.

Time Capsule Problems - Possibly Anti Virus Related?

I have had a 500gb Time Capsule for several months and despite several calls to tech support, I have not been able to get it to properly back up.
Could it possible be related to the McAfee anti virus software that I have running?
The backup will start.. but never reach completion before locking up the system.
Anyone have similar problems?
Thanks!

v5.7 is the latest firmware for your AEB 802.11g.
v7.3.2 is the latest firmware for the TC.
You should probably do these simple maintenance tasks:
Simple Maintenance Tasks:
1. Repair Permissions - /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app. Start Disk Utility, select your HD and click on Repair Permissions. When finished, quit Disk Utility and then restart your computer.
2. Reset PRAM - hold down Option-Command-P-R keys when starting until you hear the startup chime a 2nd time.
3. Safe Mode Startup - hold down the Shift-key at startup until you see the login screen. When logged-in, then go to System Preferences/Network/AirPort
- click on the 'Network Name:' roll-button, select 'Join Other Network...', enter 'Network Name and select the security type you are using, and finally, enter your Password and click 'Join'.
- click on 'Advanced', TCP/IP and confirm that 'Configure IPv4:' is set to 'Using DHCP', click 'OK'.
- click the 'Apply' button and exit System Preferences.
Make sure you separate the AirPort Base Station and the wireless phone by as large a distance as you can.
You could enact Interference Robustness, but it will reduce the range of your AirPort base station:
1. Open AirPort Utility, select the AirPort Base Station (main) and click on 'Manual Setup'.
2. Click on 'Wireless' tab and click 'Wireless Options'.
3. Tick 'Use interference robustness, click 'Done', and click 'Update'.
4. Wait for ABS to restart. Restart your computer and test.

The best defence? Anti Virus software sugestions?

Hay just wondering what virus protection software, if any, is the best for macs.

HI,
Get ClamXav It's free.
A word to the wise. Do not use Norton or McAfee anti virus software. Will cause numerous problems and next to impossible to UNinstall.
Currently there are no Mac viruses in the wild but to be on the safe side, ClamXav is good to have.

I have lion and i need an anti virus. does mcafee cover lion?

i have lion and i need an anti virus. does mcafee cover lion?

No, it doesn't. So far they only have support for Snow Leopard.

Do I need to have any type of anti-virus or malware, spyware protection for my Macbook Pro?

My Macbook is a year old. When I bought it, I was told by several people that I would not need any type of anti-virus software or anything to protect my computer because Mac did not get infected that often. However, I have had people today tell me that I do need protection for my computer. My Mac runs about as good as the day I got it, but I really don't want anything to happen to it. If I need to get an anti-virus, or malware/spyware software, what programs would y'all recomend? I am just looking for information. Thanks!

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav— nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
