Hi John, Many thanks for the information you provided. I will try it after watching the Bill tonight!! Sorry, but the Bill is my only TV show these days .....
I am glad to find that I was not the only one having a problem. I got the Virex application via my subscription to a .Mac account. So will have to see because I seem to think that Apple does not include Virex in their .Mac package anymore. But will see. Many thanks again and regards, Philippe on 21/3/06 5:09 AM, John Weekes at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Phillippe > > This may or may not be helpful in solving the Virex part of your problem. > > I had difficulty accessing Virex eUpdate about 18 months ago.and > asked Pica (the Virex agents) for help. > > Part of their reply is 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.
