You need to remove all Mcafee from your pc even in the registry & then do a re install of Mcafee. I had the same troubles with Norton. I un installed it and re installed Norton and I got errors and here I found that there were still some norton things on my pc that I had to manually remove. I just did a pc search for norton and removed everything and anything that came up saying "norton" I then went into the reg. and found norton in there and removed anything with norton in there as well. I then used power tools reg cleaner to make sure everything involving norton was removed. I restarted the pc, then installed norton and it worked fine--no problems. Before you do anything to the registry back it up first. run, regedit, then file, export and name it and that is your back up. If you have problems you can always import the reg again if you screw something up while in there searching for norton. Hope this helps LB
