I am presently using McAfee VirusScan 6.0 with Zone Alarm as my Firewall.

I understand that McAfee VirusScan 7.0 comes with the McAfee Firewall which I don't want to use. If I upgrade to ver 7.0 can I prevent the Firewall from being installed or disable it afterwards?

Thanks, Alan
 
Yea you have the choice, i think either during setup or afterwards but you can run the AV without the firewall for sure.

Your settings will however be lost on the upgrade because you have to remove 6 before installing 7 it wont do a auto upgrade which sucks, just FYI if you didnt know.
 
Thanks for the info. I have heard about that it is necessary to uninstall version 6.0 before installing version 7.0. The main thing is to avoid the McAfee Firewall as being no guru in this area I need to keep things simple!

Regards, Alan

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
