Solved: McAfee Updates,, Freeze My Screen.

[chuck-HD]

I have WIN98SE, i have Mcafee virus scan,
and the security center.....Everytime i'm on-line,,
and McAfee starts an automatic download of updates,
my screen always freezes up. Does anyone know if there's a quick fix for this,,,,,,other than restarting
my computer?

Hi..a common problem with McAfee..turn off automatic update..run them manually..
After months of problems with McAfee..I removed it from my system and installed Avg....

Hi blues harp28, I did'nt know you could disable the
automatic update, i'll have to give it a try.
Thanks, chuck-HD.

my son and i both gave up on mcafee this year over getting updates. we both went to AVG.

I went in and disabled the auto-update, and enabled the
manual update, whether or not this will make a difference
or not,,,I don't know. I'm going to give it one more shot
before i get rid of it. Thanks for your reply, i'll keep it in mind, chuck-HD.
