That isn't a specific virus, that is a type of virus.

Can you give a few more details about what is happening?

[Arwel]

I have a Mcafy? security on my lapto and I did a complete computer scan I it shows at the bottom of the report in the virus section, Jrojan?

[buckers]

Surely McAfee got rid of it for you............

[Arwel]

I carried out the scan, but it still shows up on the report. how can i get rid of it using mcarfy?

Are you sure your not looking at the virus vault and McAfee has already put it there for you?

[Arwel]

It's in the items detected section?

I did a system restore after mine went awol a week ago, worked fine after that.

Well I haven't got McAfee myself so cant be sure, but I imagine if you select the listed threat, you should then get an option to "Fix selected threat" Click on that and Bingo, job done :)

[Arwel]

No, it wont let me click on it.

[tiddler]

Is there a checkbox next to it? If so click on that.

[Mark_T]

Is this actually a current version of McAfee or an old one that has lapsed?

Most AV software will continue to detect after your license expires but will usually not fix problems.

[Arwel]

I have clicked update on it and I have a couple of years till before the licence expires.

You should have a little McAfee icon in your system tray. Hover your mouse cursor over it and a small text box should open telling you if a threat has been found and weather it has been fixed or not.

Download malwarebytes free, install it, update it then run over your pc, will run faster than mcafee & will catch so much more than mcafee
