    Well you will get these messages because, as far as McAfee is concerned, you're not protected, but have you got any other spam filter? If not, you will get a ton of spam. Best uninstall McAfee and go with one of the free anti virus then install a free spam filter, there are loads.
    I had Spywaredoctor with anti virus for ages on my XP PC then got a new Vista PC with McAfee preinstalled (which I will remove as soon as the trial expires). I'm going for the free AVG. Vista has its own spam filter.

    yeah i got free mcafee with sky broadband before i had avg 7.5. i've not got another anti spam filter
