Dear WAMUG members,

I have been having difficulty in accessing my .mac account, and also Virex has been unable to access the eUpdate server. At times there are no problems with the .mac account, but specially today when clicking on the mail button, the browser apps indicator button keeps truning indefinitely. Tried on both
Safari (v1.3.2)  and FireFox (v1.5.0.1).

Also Virex has been unable to update the virus definitions for almost 5 days now with the message 'cannot connect to the eUpdate server', or words to
this effect.

Running OS X 10.3.9 on a G5 dual 1.8 Ghz, and using a NetComm NB5Plus4W
modem.

Hi Philippe,

I did this when I was using Virex 7.2 in OSX10.39.

        1.       Open Virex.

        2.       From the Virex menu, choose Preferences.

3. Under Virus Update, click on Customize my eUpdate server settings. A checkmark appears next to the statement and the server settings button becomes active.

        4.       Click server settings.

        5.       Under Type, make sure FTP is selected.

        6.       Under Server URL, type: ftp.nai.com

        7.       Leave the port blank.

        8.       In the Username field, type: anonymous

        9.      Leave the password and account fields blank.

10. Under Directory, type: /virusdefs/mac/virex7/ if you are using Virex 7.
        
11.  Click OK to save your settings.

        12.  Click OK to save your Preferences.
