Virus during installation
« on: July 18, 2002, 07:36:17 am »

I tried to install the mj8 exe program, but my virus scan program (Mcafee) gave me a warning during this process. Can anybody help?

Use Norton AnitVirus...McAfee is notorious for bogus virus reporting.  Sorry, that's all I can suggest...you are the first to every report a 'virus' from an MJ install (in 2|PLS| years that I've seen).  Did you get the download straight from MJ's website?  What virus did McAfee report was in the MJ install?

You need to:
1.) Uninstall MJ (if you can)
2.) Temporarily disable McAfee (there should be an icon on the right side of the taskbar, right click and look around for disable)
3.) Reinstall MJ
4.) Turn McAfee back on

If you can't do #1, no big deal - just skip it

A small addition: where did you get the executable from? Some place reasonable (like our web site or software repository), or from an unknown website, or from a friend? There may be executables out there that are infected that don't come from us.
