Dear friends,
Can anyone help me with this? Actually, I know some people here are very technically advanced.
I had bought this McAfee package (from store) containing firewall and antivirus about 3 months back. I installed them are they were working fine, till a few days. May be they are still doing the job behind the scene. Here are some of my questions:
1. If I try to force it to scan something, it opens up a blank screen. So there is nothing that I can do with that. This is the case, whether I try to double-click the Firewall, VisrusScan or Security Center icons on my desktop.
2. Then I tried to uninstall them but again the same white blank window. So I can’t uninstall and re-install either.
May be I need to provide some more info. Recently, I downloaded the free version of Spybot for taking care of spyware issues. So I don’t know if that is coming in conflict with McAfee. When I ran Spybot it showed some registry issues with McAfee, so I cleaned them up. Since then, I uninstalled Spybot but the same issues with Mcafee continues.
It still seems to me that McAfee is working, because I see the firewall prompting from time to time regarding the websites’ permissions when I am on the Internet.
If it is not right to be asking these here the moderators can feel free to take my post out. However, I would appreciate if someone could then U2U me some suggestions.
Thanking in advance.
