If your computer runs Windows NT Workstation v4.0 or Windows 2000
Professional, the VShield scanner loads as a Windows NT service called
McShield, which you can see in the Windows Services control panel.
Š
NOTE: McAfee recommends that you do not start or stop the McShield
service from the Windows control panel. Instead, you can stop and
restart the scanner from the provided VirusScan control panel. To learn
more about how to use the VirusScan control panel, see
