Message for all AOL
users AOL has decided not to offer free
McAfee anti-virus protection for its users.
If you wish to avoid the charge that they will be
imposing shortly, carry out the following instructions.
Close down your McAfee anti-virus program. You
can usually do this by right clicking on the McAfee icon at
the lower, right corner of your screen (known as the
sys-tray, or notification area). There should be a choice to
exit the program in the pop-up menu.
Next, click on Start,
Control Panel, Add
or Remove Programs.
When the list is displayed, scroll down until you
find the McAfee Anti-Virus program. Click on Remove
and go through any steps that complete the removal.
Click on Start again and then Search. In the
Search dialog box, type McAfee and choose to look in Local Disk
(C:), and then click Search. (There may be some files
that are not removed when you remove the program.)
If your Search finds any related files, delete
them. On completion, reboot the computer.
Now go to this website address: http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free- Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?
Download and install this anti-virus
program, which is free forever and can be updated free regularly.
I use this and I can recommend it.
Once it is installed, it's a good idea to configure
it to run a scheduled anti-virus scan. You can choose have
it run daily at a set time, or any other interval that you prefer.
When you use your computer you may notice that
the normal AVG icon in the sys-tray changes from a square with
four colors to a red shield. This means that there is a new
update ready to download. (As you can imagine, new viruses are
being discovered every day, so the update is a list of new virus
definitions.) Right click on the icon and choose Update Now.
After that, wait for the message that shows you the update
file, then click OK to install it.
That's all there is to it. Your computer is
now secure. If you
have any problems doing this, please let me know. I could
also connect remotely and do it for you if you wish.

Carefree Computer Group Meetings
Hi everyone, Dave Clark here with some news about our 2008/9 Computer Group meetings. The aim of the meetings is to inform you how you can maintain your computer so that it runs quickly and safely, as well as trying to answer all your questions. If I get stuck with a Vista problem, I’m sure Bill Roach will help out and provide backup for me throughout the meetings. If there are any Mac computer users, please don’t be afraid to come. They are much simpler to operate than Windows computers! I would like to hear from you in advance if there are any topics that you would particularly like me to address. All the meetings will be fun if everyone participates and learns a little each time. You can contact me at this e-mail address:
computergroup@carefreecountryclub.org
The meeting dates are as follows:
November 17 December 15 January 12 February 16 March 16
Looking forward to our first meeting!
Dave Clark
