OK, here's what happens: My son plays "Starcraft" on our computer and it disables our McAfee viruscan and firewall, so we reload it afterwards. But today I found that the McAfee stuff was again disabled so I pulled up the program on my desktop, which normally activates the McAfee icon on the toolbar. I would then right-click that icon and "enable" the viruscan and the firewall. However, today after pulling up the McAfee program on the desktop, the icon appeared and would disappear as soon as I moved the cursor on top of it; simultaneously, the McAfee window would disappear. If I tried again, same thing happened. Why is game disabling McAfee protection? Why is McAfee not functioning properly now? I restarted computer and it reloaded McAfee and I thought all would be well, but same thing happens: McAfee icon eventually disappears from toolbar and won't behave normally if I try to activate McAfee. Help.
