cliffc Posted February 1, 2024 Report Share Posted February 1, 2024 The version from this site is fine to install and has been downloaded many times with no issues, i am guessing your Mcafee is being a little to strong, i would suggest waiting until you can download again and turning it off to allow you to download, if you don't want to wait then making a donation to the site will get you a whole year of unlimited downloading, and i would guess that once you have the emulator up and running your going to want to download many of the layouts for the emulator this may be your best option, you can donate as little as £10 how much fun would this get you on a real machine.

LlamaVonLeit Posted February 11, 2024 Report Share Posted February 11, 2024 Some antivirus software scans it as a virus, but it's false... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slotsmagic Posted July 28, 2024 Report Share Posted July 28, 2024 I tried giving away a copy of McAfee recently that came with a new laptop. Nobody would take it even for free. There really isn't any need for McAfee, Norton or similar these days, but I do get why people might feel more comfortable using it. 1 Happy non-gambler since 1st January 2025!

I haven't done since the old days of Norton, probably around the DOS/Win95 days. I used to love Norton Disk Doctor in DOS when I was a kid. Used to have benchmarking and all sorts built in. But modern AV is really just a subscription scam designed to play on people's fears! 1 Happy non-gambler since 1st January 2025!
