Hello:


Every time i reboot windows, my MCAFEE anti-virus program comes up disabled. I have to right click and select "enable on access scan" in order for it to start working properly. This problem was originally being handled in the following post:

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

Look, I did advice you to reinstall, and "P. S." was just my opinion based on my experience.

Broni does have a point

If McAfee is causing a problem like this, its not going to be any good at protecting you if its not running properly.


I would run the McAfee Removal Tool, then re-install it

Also, if same thing happens after reinstall, it may be an indication of some kind of infection.

You need to go to McAfee site, enter your info, and it'll let you re-download the program.

Oh, came from your ISP?
If so, run, and make your computer happy.
If this is the case, let me know, and I'll tell you about alternatives (free).
