Total security 2009 install

Clicking on the virus files, McAfee immediately blocked two of them; the other two I was able to download but they were discovered shortly afterwards. McAfee did not allow me to open the files in any way. The files were quarantined without any user intervention.

Our test system is an Acer Aspire ; it has the following specifications:. System performance is essentially untouched, with the after installation scores being within three percent of the bare system.

It is great to see anti-virus companies responding to customers who want security without compromises. McAfee runs quite a few processes but only uses around 20MB of memory, which is very low. I have seen it go up to 80MB while I was testing its anti-virus capabilities, but the majority of the time this is not the case. Whether McAfee does a more in-depth scan or not I cannot say, however it must have been really in-depth to take over a half hour.

NOD32 and Kaspersky completed the same scan in less than 20 minutes. McAfee does have a Quick Scan feature, which will check commonly targeted areas of a PC; it only took two minutes.

It is equally as effective as competing solutions and includes several convenient features that other solutions lack. The SiteAdvisor integration was a definite plus, which helps users stay safe online, and I liked the built-in system maintenance features.

Total Protection runs in the background and no user interaction is required in day-to-day use. Before I follow the instructions mentioned here, ,i did try lots of solution guides from the internet. Those solutons,however,did not work.

And it just waste my time! It saves me!! These instructions are great but please update them to include how to find and strangle the people responsible for Total Security. Alucero, see Microsoft instructions to remove that item from the menu. What precisely am I looking for? My machine is infected, but the scan revealed no lines that look like above. Thank you! This worked perfectly for me! Now how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

It seemed to happen after installing Spybot Search and Destroy and using the immunize feature. I removed total security with no problem thanks to these great instructions but now I have a error message at shutdown related to explorer. It is no longer on desktop and does not appear when I do a search either. I managed to find total security files and deleted them but I am left with the personal security which I cannot remove from control panel and keeps popping up and shutting down my computer.

How do I get rid of this please. Brid, follow the personal security removal instructions.
