[RESOLVED] MCSCAN32.(vxd)

[arcade]

MCSCAN32 (vxd) causes an intermittent fatal exception; is this vxd mcafee (I have v5 installed with current dat file).

it's not the machine or OS as it has followed on from the p2-266 win95 pc to the 1.2ghz tbird win98se pc and still causes problems.

any ideas?

Yes, that is a McAfee file. Have you tried reinstalling? Or how about dumping McAfee and trying another AV package?

I HAD version 5 and dumped it. It caused way too many problems. I switched back to the older 4.01 version and haven't had any problems since, but you could go to http://www.cai.com and download Inocculate IT for free. Next time this is what I am going to do.

here's the dilema for us in the UK. i purchased a mcafee virus scan with VERSION 5 on the box; and was suprised to find the scan engine is 4.10 and the dat files are 4.x

the thing is, I already had 4.03 scan engine and was using 4.x dat files.

when i complained to mcafee they said this was standard numbering. the customers in the US get the real v5., while everyone else gets v4...
