Quote - I refuse to connect my Poser PC to the internet after losing a ton of material to a virus several years ago.  (I will never trust McAfee again!)   I was never able to use Poser 8 because of the ActiveX setup for the libraries.  They just won't show up.  Is Poser 9 set up the same way?  If so, I'll stick with 7and spend my money on content instead of software.  Thank you!

 

McAfee isn't a bad program, but you can't just trust 100% in any anti-virus program. Avoid risky downloads, never click on email links or open emails from sites that you don't deal with. ALWAYS have 2 different emails that you use (One for junk and other for business only).  I get bank emails all the time through hotmail, but I don't use my hotmal address for serious purposes, so I know right away not to even bother.

Highly recommended not to use hacked, cracked, or warez programs because that only opens the door that any anti-virus program won't be able to close. I could go through 50 things that the user should do in order to avoid virus before even getting to the anti-virus settings that should be used. Such as configuring firewalls and program permissions. I could go through all of the spyware preventions as well.

The reason I'm mentioning this because it appears that you are completely blaming it on McAfee.  I've seen all types of anti-virus programs fail, and it wasn't the software's fault, it was the user that made it possible for the virus to work it's way in.

If you are depending on the Antivirus 100% then all I can say is just get ready to lose some more information from your hard drive.
