'New Programs Added', or something like that.

[Lancer]

This message appeared in my start menu when I went to shut off my comp last night, but I hadn't added anything or done any downloads. McAfee virus scan detects no viruses.

Should I reformat my hard drive (time consuming pain) or what?

[ajbera]

Make certain McAfee is properly updated (manually look for updates) & make sure it's scanning everything (right-click on red M next to clock, go to Virus Scan, wait for sub menu to open, then select Options, click Advanced button, and make sure it's set to Scan for New Unknown Viruses, and set to scan All Files.) You may want to do an Ad Aware scan too, just to be safe. You can also initiate a System Restore (but don't follow through unless necessary), just to peek and see if anything was added yesterday (new Restore point.)

[Lancer]

cool, I'm on it. :doomed:

[Lancer]

Virus scan everything is as you suggest ajbera, how do I initiate system restore?

[MrFun]

You mean this thread is not about any kind of communist program?

[Lancer]

I figure some commie got a leftist program on my comp if that helps any...

If I accidentally put 4 dots I automaticly remove one. Three dots is best...

[ajbera]

Lancer - Windows XP? ME? Or something else?

[Lancer]

XP

[MrFun]

I wonder -- do more capitalists use XP while more communists use ME?

[Lancer]

dunno. Besides, I was just guessing.

[MrFun]

The world needs to know -- the equilibrium of crayon ownership is in danger of disruption if we don't find the answer.

[Kassiopeia]

ME is a horrible piece of crap while XP actually works. So which side uses which is entirely up to your own stance on the matter...

[Lancer]

It tells me what got downloaded. I clicked on the 'new programs added' message, and it highlighted McAfee.

Must have gotten an update and not noticed.

All OK now, thanks all, ajbera.
