My mcafee shield tells me very often (every 30 seconds) that i have a virus
but when I use mcafee scan it does not find any viruses. Anyone know what
this is about?
 
What exactly is the infector's name that McAfee is flagging ?

It doesn't even name the virus. I am very suspicious of this notification
but I cannot seem to stop it. All it says is Mcafee Virus Scan has detected
a virus on your computer. It is recommended that you run scan now on all
drives. That is all it says and it come every 30 seconds on my computer.
 
Please capture a JPEG of the error/notification message and post it in:
alt.binaries.comp.virus

What is the version of the software ? Retail v8 ?

What is the ENGINE version ?

What is the DAT revision ?

Are you certain that it is actually McAfee, or just one of those annoying
pop-ups on a web site, trying to get you to click on it, so it can install
some spyware?

That's why I asked him to post a captured JPEG in alt.binaries.comp.virus
