Anti virus?
Sunday, May 8, 2005 by Richard Mohler | Discussion: Personal Computing
Does anybody know why my anti-virus program doesn't respond? I mean I've tried talking to mcafee with no help to my problem.. I mean nothing happens when I click on anything. The icon in the tray or the program on program list itself. Does anybody know what's going on or maybe something to try?

A lot of the Sober Viruses have been going around since friday.
Some of the variations tend to try and turn of antivirus programs.

It's possible it has been 'hijacked' by a virus...preventing its access/function.
Best solution initially is to search on Google for suitable keywords...
'mcaffee'
'no respond'
etc...
