Yes, remove present version buy v7.0 (or 8.0) and install it. Make sure you download the
weekly DAT files !
The product is worthless if its three years old and has NEVER been updated !
V7.0 and/or v8.0 will also be worthless if you fail to update DAT and ENGINE files as well.

| Dave,

| As I said, I've done NOTHING to it since I installed it 2 years
| ago; not downloaded any updates, not installed an upgrade.....NOTHING.
| You said I need to upgrade the version and get the DAT & Engine files
| current. Sounds reasonable, but how is the best way to do this??????
|
| Should I buy the latest full version of McAfee (8.0, I presume)
| and unistall the version I'm now using, or buy an upgrade, or
| subscribe for a year to receive the McAfee downloads?
