i have a question about get rid of irritating splash screens:

in mcafee virusscan 6, is the splash screen for vshield loading with windows xp causing problems or delay?, edit this simple registry entry and the vshield splash screen will no longer load at startup in windows xp home or pro only. first click start, then run in the open line type: regedit hit enter and registry editor should start. now goto this registry entry: hkey_local_machine\software\network associates\tvd\shared components\on access scanner\vshield\system scan\general in the right window, the last registry entry key should be --- > bskipsplash, double click on this value name to go into edit mode, then where the value data says "0" -zero, change that to "1". then just exit the registry editor and reboot, and now you'll notice the mcafee vshield splash screen doesn't pop up when windows xp starts now, vshield just quietly loads in the background and your windows xp system will start even faster! --good luck!!

I tested this method on Windows 2000 professional, and it eliminated the annoyance.

Oey!! McAfee's Splash is VERY very very anoying!

Get rid of the bloody thing:

Disable McAfee (7.x) splash screen:

01. regedit
02. Goto the following location in the registry;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScanEnterprise\CurrentVersion
03. Locate the option "bSkipSplash".
04. Right click and choose "modify".
05. Change the "0" to "1"
06. reboot (if you wish)

No more nagging McAfee Splash Screen.

For McAfee 8, make the following change in your registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MCAgentExe"="c:\\PROGRA~1\\mcafee.com\\agent\\mcagent.exe /nosplash

(adding the /nosplash parameter to the mcafee agent executable)

The fix Peter mentions does not work for VirusScan ENTERPRISE (what most companies 
use).  For VSE 8.0i, the registry key is located here: 

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScan Enterprise\CurrentVersion

then set "bSkipSplash" to a value of '1' and you're good to go!

or for the lazy, err, clever:

REGEDIT4 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScan Enterprise\CurrentVersion]
"bSkipSplash"=dword:00000001

Cheers!

The posted instructions for McAfee v8 also work for v9. This is home version and not the enterprise version. This supresses the silly security center startup.

Many thanks for that tip - it's been irritating for weeks and now another annoyance 
is gone.  Cheers

"ShStatEXE"="\"C:\\Program Files\\McAfee\\VirusScan Enterprise\\SHSTAT.EXE\" /STANDALONE /NOSPLASH"

If you are using McAfee VirusScan 8 Enterprise they moved the location it is at: hkey_local_machine\software\network associates\tvd\VirusScan Enterprise\CurrentVersion Look for "bskipsplash" and change it to 1.
