McAfee Question

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 9 Sep 2006 9:54 am

So this morning I look at my computer and McAfee had been running and the screen said it had identified two Trojan viruses. But McAfee stopped and did not complete the scanning (I've been having computer memory problems recently so I thought maybe it ran out of RAM capacity, or somesuch). So I rebooted my machine and ran McAfee all over again. And this time it did NOT identify ANY viruses! So NOW what do I do? I'm concerned they may really be there...
Thanks in advance for your advice,
Jim[This message was edited by Jim Cohen on 09 September 2006 at 10:55 AM.]

Check the McAfee Virus Vault, or whatever they call their version of a holding cell. You may find those two files have been moved there for your protection.

I don't see it anywhere. Maybe McAfee went ahead and deleted them?

Just to see if that is possible, check to see how your McAfee is configured----on other programs I've seen/used you can chose different options regarding how viruses are dealt with--automatically delete, move to vault, do nothing except notify.....see if you have selected (or default mode is) auto-delete.
