When I downloaded Firefox, McAffee anti-virus protection was offered. How do I take advantage of that offer now?

When I stopped using Netzero they cancelled my Norton anti-virus protection. I remember seeing something about McAffee anti-virus when I downloaded Firefox. I'd like to get anti-virus protection now.

That offer has not been included as part of the Firefox installation. You may have seen the free McAfee security scan as an option when Adobe Flash was installed. McAfee have an agreement with a few companies to package a McAfee security scan with other applications, it is not the full McAfee anti-virus program which needs to be purchased.
