i downloaded McAfee (anti-virus software) from Cox about 2-3 months ago and now i apparently have viruses/adware on my computer. How do i remove these threats from my computer using McAfee?
Step 1.
Download Avast! Home Edition as this is THE best free antivirus protection out there. Only drawback is you have to register within 60 days for free and every year after. But hey! You get it forever!
Anyways you also have to manual scan, but it isn’t a resourse hog and it scans everything your computer writes and reads as well as internet sites and emails. I love it. As well they update it about every day!
It found several viruses after I deleted Norton 360 and has found several since.

Step 3.
Proceed by downloading “SuperAntiSpyware Free” from the link below (As the title suggests, this is also free), follow any
instructions required to install it, update the virus definitions, then run a full scan, also clean any infections found
after the scan has completed.
Step 4.
You may also consider to be sure that all Malware has been removed from your system download “Kaspersky’s Virus Removal Tool” (Free) from the link
below and run a full scan, this will already be updated to the day you download and install it, after the scan clean any
infections found. download here…
Step 5.
Consider doing a scan of your computer with MBAM and superantispyware every 2-4 weeks with a maximum of a system scan every month. (I recommend 2-3 weeks.)
P.S. make sure to unistall all other antivirus products before installing avast and never have more than one installed at a time.
Hope this helps and enjoy a better computer!
