Conrad -
Right click the shied in the bottom right (which should start-up
automatically when you turn your PC on). There should be a quick enable
choice. Make sure email is enabled. If it is not, mcaffee is not scanning
your emails. That said, no reason to ever open up an exe file without
confirming the email directly, and then only from somebody you know.

Subject: Re: [RT] VIRUS "W95.Hybris.gen"
I received today (but not necessarily from this list) a copy of this email
from hahaha that had a joke.exe attachment. I saw this in the preview
screen of Outlook. I did not open joke.exe (except see question below).
1. I'm wondering why McAfee did not give any warning. Would it only do it
if the attachment was opened? I have system scan off but download and
internet scans on. I updated Mcafee about 10 days ago, at least the
.dat files.
a. Is it bad that I disabled system scan? I chose to do this bec. I
rarely install files from a disk and assumed the download/internet scan
would snag any incoming files arriving that way. I figured the
background work of system scan on known, good exe files would be wasteful.
I do run system scan approx. weekly.
b. Without thinking it through long enough, I did click alt-enter,
message source, details on the offending email to see if I could tell where
it actually came from. Q. Does this open the attachment??
c. I did a system scan with Mcaffee and no problems were reported. I
also checked the dates on winsock32.dll and winini.dll and they are old
dates, so I assume the virus is not at work. Do you agree?
