    Hi All

    Since I logged on this morning, I'm getting notifications of Trojans being detected every couple of minutes - I'd say I've have at least 15 or so in the last half an hour.

    Anything I should be doing to help here, or is the antivirus doing its thing sufficient?

    Apologies if that's a totally stupid question, I'm a bit of a luddite in these matters.

    Check the renewal date of your existing subscription, if it due for renewal shortly, it could well be that McAfee are subtly reminding you of this fact!

    You should definitely download and run Malwarebytes - it is free and an excellent tool for checking and cleaning viruses etc. etc.

    Also, speaking from experience, I would explore antivirus providers other than McAfee. There are several adverse comments in relation to McAfee on this forum.
