If you cant activate Mcaffee you can put on a free zone alarm. If your Mcaffee is coming up for renewal - dump it and get the free grisoft AVG program - download from the net, it includes a firewall and email checker. Do you have a Mcafee program security centre or anything. Can you not right click on the message or your mcafee icon and activate the firewall from that?

Hi Heather, When I went on the Macafee site when I first signed on it said 1 item blocked today now it says 4 so I guess it's working. What do you think about PC world checks. I am not technicaly minded at all and I wondered if a good 'clean-out' would do the computer some good? Linda
