They seem OK to me. [enterprise versions, people - we all know about the non-corporate ones not being too good] -- Snob? Were I a snob, I wouldn't be talking to you.
From: Roman King on 22 Jun 2007 11:51 I am very disappointed to see that McAfee did not catch ole16.dll malware. I found that the presence of malware ole.16.dll did not affecting computing at all. But its removal causes an enormous havoc on my computers. No more McAfee on my computers. This is enough. BTW, this is what I solved the problem. I have a month old mirror image of C-partition (backed up using Acronis True Image). I deleted the infected C-partition and restored the old C-partition. Bingo. Everything looked fine. I installed AVG. It did not see the presence of the malware ole16.dll in my computers. BTW, without the Acronis True Image backup, I might be forced to re-format and re-install the whole C-drive. Now, I am very happy with AVG. Regards, Roman "David H.
