  • Mcafee virus program

    I want to use dos virus scan files on a bootable CD. Now mcafee in there wisdom have hidden the folder the files are in. I cannot unhide the folder these files reside in. You do a search and copy the files one by one that way but it would be easier to do this directly from the folder.

    hidden folders on Windows is a joke

    Just tell Explorer to display them anyway

        No no, Pit.

        It's either not really a hidden folder, or it will just show up if you pick "show hidden files and folders" in Explorer.

        My guess is it's some kind of compressed archive-thing... to protect the scanner files from corruption.

        But McAfee sucks. In DOS, use F-Prot. In Windows, use AVG.

          Well we've got a choice.

          Sophos >>> delete those infected work files.

          mcafee >>> I'll try and clean them.


          When the os won't boot cos it's fubbarred a bootable cd is useful.
          When it's a laptop we can't remove the hard drive and stick it in another pc.
