Thank you Steve:

For those of you who are not confident in such matters, it pays
to call the experts.  The only chage for the 801 number is a
long distance call.  Expect no more than 10-15 minutes at the
most to make the repair.

I chose the $25 fee using the 800 number.  For those who cannot
afford that, and I understand there are many, get yourself a
cheap ($0.05 a minute) service and make good use of it.  It will
cost you no more than ONE DOLLAR for a 20 minute call.

McAfee people are very savvy.  They walk you thu every step.
