If you are a .Mac member running Virex 7.5.1, and you try to use eUpdate, you might get an error that says, ".Mac access denied. Your anti-virus protection is only effective if it is kept up-to-date. Please make sure your .Mac membership is active and configured."
If you see this message, don't worry; you can still update your copy of Virex. Just follow these steps:
- If the alert message is still on your screen, click Quit.
- Open the Virex application.
- From the Virex menu, choose Preferences.
- Click the More Options button.
- Click the Customize button in the Customize eUpdate server settings section.
- Enter your .Mac username and password in the appropriate fields and click OK. (Remember that your username is the section before the "@" in your email address. So if your .Mac email address were "steve@mac.com" your username would be "steve".)
- Close the Preferences window.
- Now that you've told Virex who you are, run eUpdate again and you should be able to update the software.
