Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had some problems with VirusScan 6.0, but I may have solved some of them. First of all, if you're going to buy this product, I would recommend you download it from McAfee.com because you'll get the latest version, 6.01, which presumably has less bugs. If you buy the glitchy CD-ROM at a retail store, you'll get version 6.0. Here is how I installed the program:
First I uninstalled my current version of McAfee VirusScan, 5.21, and rebooted. Ran a quick Scan Disk and deleted any temporary internet files. I went online, downloaded and saved the McAfee installation file (a huge 32MB; thank God for cable modems) to my Windows 98 destkop. I then rebooted into Safe Mode and installed VirusScan 6.0 from there. Someone told me to do this because when you're in Safe Mode the minimum number of drivers and programs are running. This lessens the chance of a file corrupting the installation of VirusScan.
During the installation, I passed on installing the Firewall and Safe & Sound programs. Too much extra baggage for me. I just wanted VirusScan 6.0. Everything has been fine, so far. However, I don't leave McAfee VirusScan running all the time because it really slows down my system when it's on, more so than version 5.21. I just update the DAT and engine files and run occasional virus scans. I realize this increases the danger of virus infections, but it is a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
