I got rid of norton because my trial ran out and it was useless.
I got McAfee installed now for free from comcast but it is not turned out. I am pretty sure Spyware doctor is detecting it as a Backdoor.Bandok virus. Either that or a hacker is trying to get in at the exact time i press the button, or the McAfee prgram itself is infected. The infected file is:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE\VIRUSSCAN\MCSHIELD.EXE
ya i know you are not supposed to run two of the same programs. i had to delete norton. spyware doctor was compatible with norton so why wouldnt it be compatible with McAfee?
thanks Ed. thats all i was worried about. I tried different antivirus but i think i am going to stick with this combo, even though people say McAfee sucks. At least I have versions that are better than the bare shareware versions.
