I have two computers using the same ISP with McAfee installed on one.... McAfee says I need to buy a second issue for the second computer...
Really???
If one is already installed on #1 puter, won't it work on #2 using the same ISP ?
El cheapo wants to know....

Dear El Cheapo
Forget about buying a 2nd copy of MacAfee. Instead download AVG from www.grisoft.com
That's free, works good Wink Have to do a manual update about once per week. Warns when the program needs the update Smile 2 clicks and you are updated Wink
Another good one is Avast! from www.avast.com This is also Free Cool
Have to register to get a years worth of updates (get a "Key" ) otherwise it "times out" in 60 days (Still works but doesn't update Frown)
BTW.The AVG program also needs a Registration Key to activate it.
You can run both of them (no conflict issues) and you'll have a good defence Wink

AVG has an Auto update feature

Open AVG 7 and Click Scheduler
Click Scheduled Tasks
Click Edit Schedule and choose the time you want it to check

Avast has automatic updates too, and I use it exclusively instead of AVG now, as it detects alot more Trojans. I recommend it highly!

Actually I had tried to download AVG a few days earlier, but was unable to do so...

Found out you have to go to a download site to do it.. I scrolled down from AVG listings to "MajorGeeks" and downloaded with no problems....
