McAfee & Windows 7

[roostersgal4eva]

Hi everyone

A got a brand spanking new laptop with Windows 7 last week (Toshiba Satalite L500 for those playing at home ) but there is one problem - installed McAfee internet security 09 and it didnt install some files/components including the firewall due to compatiblity issues.

any advice on how to fix the problem?

go to their website and see if they have an updated version. Download the latest version and install that (after you unistall what you have already)

http://us.mcafee.com/root/landingpages/afflandpage.asp?affid=605&lpname=11865&aco=0&cid=32819

other than that, uninstall it and then reinstall it. (make sure you don't have any other anti-virus system on your laptop as well)

or, uninstall it and get something else.

Try using Google to find your answers rather than just expecting others to do it for you.

on the money here

1. unistal mcafee.
2 . reboot and a red icon will appear next to the little white flag in the task bar.
3. click on this and it will redirect you to a page where you can download free trials of major av companies software.

ive been using these since the release candidate and now on win 7 ultimate 64bit.

unfortunately have not been impressed with many, but if your gonna try norton only use internet security not 360.
