Rose and I have a different form of McAfee.

If the warning occured right after you downloaded the program and updates, then it might have been the newly-installed program trying to communicate back to it's manufacturer to register, etc.

If it hasn't occured since then, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Messenger spam is just like any other spam, it's not limited to McAfee. It sounds like the one you had may have been connected to your McAfee, though. But again, if it hasn't happened since the 13th, it may have been a one-time thing associated with the downloads and updates you installed then.

Well, it's happened twice today. I just noticed the logged warning for the Nok Nok thing today, when I viewed my log. The pop-up happened today, twice. The Nok Nok (trojan) thing happened on the 13th.
