Can anybody tell me why, when my system is booting up and McAfee scans my boot file, it displays 90+ files, 11 scanned, 79 not scanned?
Is there something on my system I am not aware of?
I ask this because I recently went to DSL running Win98, and stupidly did not install a firewall. My system began running very slow, Win98 would not shut down, weird happenings. So I downloaded a firewall and found I was getting 500+ port scans a day. Now I log off when I am not using the system for fear that I am still exposed in some way.
I also run AdAware, which seems to clean my system of the little ad programs that get dropped in my system when I surf the net.
Anybody know how I can search my registry for suspicious executable programs, or is my McAfee good enough to keep me safe.
Thanks
