Hi All
I sent the following to Stephen direct (not via the list). It may bw
useful for people having difficulty updating Virex.
In November 2004, I contacted PICA (the Agents for Virex) when I was
unable to use the "eUpdate" part of the program.
I received a reply from Marian Gildea, Software Support, PICA in
part as follows
This month McAfee seems to have changed what they are doing again and
as such numerous customers are having similar problems to what you
reported. This is because the ftp site that eUpdate uses to connect
to and download the update from has not had the October nor the
November definitions placed on it. As such eUpdate sees the September
definitions which are already installed and thinks that it is up to
date.
In order to overcome this issue there are a few options. The virus
definition update file can downloaded from the McAfee website and
then manually applied. The URL for this is below.
<http://www.networkassociates.com/us/downloads/updates/default.asp>
Click on the text link "DATs" then click the "I Agree" button if
prompted. At the following page select the text link "DAT File for
Virex 6.x". (Approx 3Mb)
After the download has completed the file should then be
automatically decompressed in to reveal a folder with the same name.
Inside this are two files, a read me and the definitions file which
has the Virex icon on it. Double click on this file to open Virex and
then click update to apply the file. You will receive a message once
this has been finished.
Seems to work OK
Regards
John
