McAfee: Windos XP users be on alert

McAfee recently released a product update that caused problems especially fur users of Windiwss XP. Many thousands of PCтАЩs and networks collapsed due to accidentally spread virus.
Now McAfee has released updates to address these issues automatically and also created a secure web page with an update tool to help resolve any remaining issues and to confirm that you have the latest protection.
You can visit McAfee at

and download a repair tool, even if you are fully protected. If you are having Web browsing issues, you should still be able to reach this Web page.

Hello all, ttom is absolutely correct regarding the McAfee issue.

There is a Malware called Rouge.Multiple attacking Windows and McAfee. I've dealt with some 20 comps or better since April 17th and have managed to save 16. The 4 were beyond saving. The malware deletes and corrupts the Windows and McAfee installations everytime the computer is shut off eventually rendering the system useless.
I hate to say this but, I am impressed by this malware. It will not allow acess to the USB ports or DVD/CD and causes issues trying to run in Safe mode.

The steps I've been taking, because most systems are too damaged, are: repair the Windows installation, ensure the Windows OS is fully up to date, have a copy of Malwarebytes (malwarebytes.org) and install then run the scan, download and run MCRP2.exe from the McAfee website (solution 2) https://us.mcafee.com/root/productupdate.asp?=35172 This will remove all traces of McAfee, Run, reboot, then re-install McAfee.

I hope this resolves your problem.

PS, lol do not forget to install the most current Adobe Macromedia and Shockwave add ons and Java.
