- simply highlight a filename that is located in the directory that
- you wish to install the McAfee files and the path is
- automatically inserted for you (new).

- Change the search function to examine both the filename and the
- extension for a match. This should help to eliminate the
- mismatches for .BAT and .COM files with the same name of SCAN
- instead of SCAN.EXE (new).

- if they do not exists on the harddisk respectively (new).
