Updateing your virus program with the latest and greatest files, that way your viris protection program can keep current on the types of viruses out there. But the new DAT files for McAfee WILL crash Internet Explorer. I have been dealing with this at the colege where I work. I believe you have to upgrade you McAfee engine to cure this problem.
