| McAfee free to AT&T Yahoo users
While I don't use it, McAfee is now free to AT&T Yahoo users. I read on one of the other forums about the switch from notorious Norton. It is called "AT&T Internet Security Suite powered by McAfee®". I don't know if it installs toolbars or other ****ware.
»att.software.yahoo.com/ysftc/p/att/v4/choice has the free McAfee download. |

clubs:  | I see it does. Another change of software.
Also, McAfee is limited to only 4 installations, and the Symantec bloatware was limited to 7.
Does anyone know if this will install on a 64 bit OS? |

I will give it a shot right after i'm done with a few other things, can't be as bad as norton was in terms of memory usage and removal
And can use it on the other PC's as well. |

From the installation page, I quote:
You can install the AT&T Internet Security Suite on up to 4 qualified computers. You may return to the Internet Security Suite page on any other computer in your home and repeat the process. It does not say 7, it says 4. |

| said by Frohike  :Lev, looks like you might be trying to access it with a subaccount and not the main ID. Except I wasn't. It's the main account name.
However, it is a business class account, tied to static service. That's the only difference I can see.
Meanwhile, gdm's information still didn't specifically say Vista 64 bit.
Every day, I'm getting closer to ordering Comcast Business Class. |

Waxahachie, TX | GDMs 1st post states Vista 32 and 64 bit. We were told it will be compatible with Vista 64.
Lev - is your email migrated to yahoo servers or did it stay on our legacy servers? Need to get info on why you see 4...and not 7. |

None of my posts point to 64bit. StillLearn is pulling directly from the McAfee site which isn't always the exact same software as the online stuff offered by the ISP's.
I still don't see anything stating 64bit. |

| My apologies....ya it was StillLearn. And I made the mistake of assuming it was from this version.
The site says the MINIMUM - doesn't exclude Vista 64 - and on our information at work - it shows 64 bit Vista as compatible. 1st day this is out - so next day or 2 will show. |
