>I have a license of the online McAfee virus scan on my PC and another license for my laptop. On the laptop, whenever there is an update, everything is done automatically and I receive a notification later on which tells me that an update occured. On the PC, I receive a notification that a new version is available and I have to start it manually. Can someone point me to the location of where such automation could be done on the laptop so I can do the same for the PC?

My NAI updates depend on what McAfee/Netshield version. 1) If V.7, the systray Console selection allows for a scheduled auto-update. This one I'm sure about, as I use it.

2) For earlier McAfee versions, I think you go into Control Panel, Scheduled Tasks, and try to add it there - it should show up in the list, if I recall right. This one I'm trying to remember back, not sure it's right or not. If that's not it, try looking for the Control Panel VirusScan icon and look there, maybe.

No guarantees on #2, just #1.
