OK I'm not too savvy on computers, but I restarted in safe mode and I can't run a virus scan because my McAfee viruscan is disabled and refuses to run. Every time I pull up the program and try to use it, the window disappears. The icon appears momentarily on my task bar but when I move the cursor over it, it disappears again. How else do I run a virus scan if I can't use my virus program?
