No. You could run Sophos and Trend Micro as a verification. The idea of
running in Safe
Mode is if there is an infector found and it is easy to remove in Safe Mode.
McAfee AV scan
found no viruses or non-viral malware -- that's good !

ok David. I will try Sophos and Trend tonight, although I do not have Sophos
or Trend on my pc. Only Mcafee VirusScan, Privacy and Firewall along with
Spywareblaster for prevention.
