Yes, it's for real but if a system is seriously infested with malwares
it can ONLY be cleaned in person, not online.
What's to stop it from being reinfested while the McAfee tech is
cleaning it and what if the malwares knock the system offline ?

Frankly, I consider it a waste of money as there is no way for the
McAfee tech to guarantee the User that the system is completely malware
free.

Thank you for your views, Steve. I *agree* with you!

I notice that your last post at AumHa (on my PC) was on 3 October 2007. Have
you deliberately withdrawn from being a helper at AumHa or could my PC be
being 'mis-directed'? Very strange things seem to happen to me on the 'net!
