Sigh...
Try going to this link, SkyDrive tells me that the file cannot be shared with me, we must
go back and on the right side of the screen, click "Edit permissions" and drag it up to "everyone (public) and click Save.""I hope that I will not have to be the one to write some ' how the message on your SkyDrive files" installation instructions - I think it would be a Microsoft support technician job.
Here's the official page of SkyDrive.
This isn't your fault, MFL100 :) - you have not been given adequate instructions.

Fusion 2.0.2 shipped with McAfee VirusScan Plus Installer update
When I went to download the last update just came out today I find that two download options. We're just the update that is suggested for computing professionals. The other is bundled with McAfee VirusScan Plus Installer. Is it a 'new '? The VirusScan would not need to be a paid subscription? I was just wondering because there is no clear explanation, and I don't remember McAffee never be packaged with merger in the past. Personally I use ClamAV and as I do not web browsing from my virtual machine I don't feel the need for a paid anti-virus program.
McAfee VirusScan Plus first delivered with Fusion 2.0.0 and it's a free 1 year subscription.
The only difference between the disk image file two .dmg is one to the antivirus.iso and the other is not otherwise there is no functional difference between the two.
Of * free * VMware Fusion 2.0.2 available
Comes with a free subscription of 12 months of McAfee VirusScan more 2009 antivirus software, with localization supports for French, German, Italian, Spanish, simplified Chinese and Japanese.

Can I remove McAfee by AOL? Removing McAfee effect would use my AOL mail?
McAfee and AOL
I've been using Webroot anti-virus and Anti-Spyware. I had McAfee on my computer in the past (I think it was because I use AOL mail). I noticed that McAfee is still listed in my program folder. My computer was slow, and I'm looking for things to delete. Removing McAfee effect would use my AOL mail?
Hello
I don't think it would affect the use of your AOL email. But make sure that you have another antivirus in place and updated once McAfee is deleted. (That you already have the Webroot program.)
You can use the McAfee removal tool to uninstall the program.
Note: Make sure to install another antivirus on the computer after you complete these steps. It is not recommended to uninstall these programs.
Alternatively, you can contact AOL for more information.

Many days, I had Dell to help me rebuild my laptop (1 1/2 years) and back to its original state as when I received it.
I didn't have McAfee so I then went to Control Panel / Add / Remove programs and deleted the only McAfee I could find.
Then later in the day that I was going to put other programs, went to turn off the Windows Firewall and to my surprise, the Windows Firewall has been turned off but it says McAfee firewall was carried out.
I thought that McAfee has been removed.
How can I get rid of McAfee?Thank you

Just update software McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008. During the installation of McAfee, I was forced to uninstall Spybot Search Destroy & before I could complete the installation again. The message said that Spybot S & D is not compatible with VirusScan Plus.
Anyone have any experience running on their system? Or was it just the McAfee intimidation tactics to kill free software of their competitor?
Thank you
