I was on vacation and I'm wondering, can I start it without Internet and do something that will prevent McAfee from doing damage? Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm one of the many who are not that educated on this kind of thing and sort of trust the people we paid to be up on it. Thanks.

Leave that kind of stuff over at Slashdot.
