Now the update process stalls after first seconds and blames my browser settings - IE 5.5 installed from PCWorld disk today made no difference. I also tried using their online scan service which was operating well last time I used it. It fails too. What next?	Guest (0)

Bit of a bind having to manually update every week but better safe than sorry. Frank.	Guest (0)

Sometimes these updates stall and wont install giving an error message. If you try again the next day they usually work fine...seems to be just Net congestion. You will also find that programs working in the background..such as Zone alarm..prevent the dat. files installing. You might need to shut this down first. Also excessive Browser activity like an on-line game or chatroom being used at the time of downloading and installing the files can cause problems. We have used McAfee Clinic for 18months now and think it's great.	Guest (0)

Did have Zone Alarm on first couple of times but worked my way through shutting down various things including it and still no joy. Back to Virus Scan V.5 for safety! and 70 dollars wasted.	Guest (0)
