If you disable McAfee, then you computer will be suspectible to viruses.   That would be a really stupid idea. \n\nBut use RUN from your Start menu, and type MSCONFIG.  Go to the startup section and UNCHECK anything EXCEPT the McAfee programs.  \n\nThen run Ad-aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy and really clean things up. \n\nBy the way, why the heck are you restarting your computer all the time.  Once a day should do the trick.  If you are using a notebook, it should be connected to it's power plug.  You might also use SUSPEND mode.

One of the best ways to fight these viruses is by keeping up to date the virus definition (usually called the dat file) on the virus protection program. One good resource is by doing an odd scan of the McAfee™ Stinger that has the most up to date method of removing high threat viruses. Download Stinger as it’s free and just do a scan of it once in a while to get rid of the most damaging viruses that are out there. For those of you that can’t afford to buy a virus shield such as McAfee™ or Norton™ a reliable and good free virus scan offered by TrendMicro™ is available online. You can do an online HouseCall scan at TrendMicro™ for the latest threats and virus removal tools as well.

OK ... dude here is what u can do ... go to any search page and hit the search "MCAfee evert stinger" its a small program exclusively designed to search recent and most known viruses and trojans. Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection. If you really want to remove and keep your pc free from viruses and trojans use an antivirus and an internet security software, and always update them ...

Sometimes a different virus scanner will pick out the virus. AdAware and Spybot are two good ones to try. Just be sure to turn off (disable) McAfee while scanning.

I like CCleaner and RegCleaner.  I had a very short experience with McAfee (many years ago) and I found all of their products to be lacking, I prefer freeware protection all the way.\n\nOkay, well you don't need more than one anti-virus solution because having more than one of those on your system will potentially cause them to interfere with each other, in severe cases they will identify the other as a virus, prevent your PC from booting and generally cause more problems than having more than one will fix.\n\nI don't like McAfee and Symantec because I have seen they use far more resources than their freeware counterparts, I have also seen that AVG for me personally provides better protection than either McAfee or Symantec.  If you're interested you can check out AVG free at http://free.grisoft.com/ but if you're happy with McAfee and it works for you I see no reason to change your anti-virus solution.\n\nWith that out of the way you do need more than one anti-spyware solution.  No one program will always have the same definitions as the other and no one program will detect every single piece of spyware out there.  For this, you can keep the protection offered by McAfee as far as the anti-spyware is concerned but you should also get (you can Google them), Adaware SE Personal, MS AntiSpyware Beta, Spybot Search and Destroy, SpywareBlaster and that should keep you more than covered, I would say they protect your system when used together 100% spyware free but that is a condition I cannot guarantee so I'll say they'll keep your system 99.99% spyware free.\n\nMS Antispyware provides active protection as does SpywareBlaster and MS Antispyware is also an excellent scanner.  Adaware SE and Spybot are just "dumb" scanners with no active protection (Spybot does have the "Tea-Timer" feature but it is as annoying as heck).\n\nSpybot and Adaware (the free version) can be used without limitations and are 100% free, no ads, pop-ups or anything and no annoying screens asking you to register either.  The same goes for MS AntiSpyware but the program will expire and to fix that all you have to do is download the update package from Microsoft when it does.  SpywareBlaster is also 100% free and offers up another layer of active protection from Spyware.\n\nThose are my recommendations but this page, http://www.photoshophow.com/freeware.htm has the largest collection of freeware applications I have ever seen, there are lots of anti-virus and anti-spyware programs to choose from.

control panel > add/remove programs > McAfee\n\nTake it off if you don't like it.  Install AVG.

Many viruses shut down the antivirus program. Best to do an online scan to see if you have something.\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\nI had McAfee do the same thing to me before without a virus. I ended up having to reinstall it, then it was OK.

My advice from a previous post....\n\nDepending on the severity/quantity of viruses, you may want to look into:\n\n1) If you have an anti-virus program, run a full scan on your system. Look for McAffee or Norton antivirus tools in "programs" for starters.\n\n2) If you have no antivirus program installed, try AVG free addition. It is easy to install and you'll receive regular updates to counter new virus attacks. You can also use tools to run full scans on your system. You can download it at: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl\n\nOr, try the following link:\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\n\n3) If a PC is plagued with viruses, your best bet is to clean the system BEFORE it boots. This can be done by using some free tools available. Check out:\n\nhttp://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/intro/\n\nYou use PE Builder to make a bootable CDROM that loads a windows-like interface in memory. Because none of your hard drive files are locked they can be cleaned of any viruses. BartPE provides free McAffee plugins that you can run to accomplish this. WARNING: you have to fairly computer savy to work with BartPE. You may want to recruit a friend to help. It's more work, but I've found this to be the most effective way to clean your system.\n\nHTH,\nD

use windows live safety scanner.the link is as follows:\nhttp://safety.live.com\nYou must do a full service scan where it will download some components to your system and then perform the scan and remove the virus.

McAfee AntiVirus and Norton Security Suite are both excellent, but they are HUGELY expensive ($100+), and they clog up your computer's speed. McAfee also offers a free standalone tiny antivirus tool called AVERT Stinger, but it's not that great. Don't even bother.\n\nYou can get free antivirus software online, and some of it is very good.  I personally use AVG Free Edition from Grisoft, which uses very little memory and is very good, although it runs an update every day. Other people prefer Avast! Home edition because it looks cool. However, it's really not all that good. Still more people prefer AntiVir XP, which is an EXCELLENT antivirus scanner, but uses more memory than AVG. \n\nHowever, to ensure that your computer is 100% safe, pair your antivirus software with some spyware and adware blockers too. Try downloading AdAware SE from Lavasoft, Spyware Blaster, and Spyware: Search and Destroy. All are excellent and will help keep your computer very safe, all for free. Remember to update them...\n\nAll of the software mentioned can be found at http://www.majorgeeks.com\n\nP.S. JibberJabber is wrong. PC Magazine rated free antivirus suites, and all of them, particulary AntiVir, had excellent catch rates. Although they aren't quite as good as paid solutions, you can use other software in conjunction with your antivirus software to make your PC safe.
