Best Answer

The issue that you are running into is that there was probably some install error, or your system doesn't meet some hidden internal spec that McAfee needs (think Toshiba, Acer, and older Dell laptops). I had this same problem and each time I did a system rollback to before I installed McAfee everything went back to fine.

This is just another one of the reasons that McAfee is a terrible piece of bloatware. The best possible solution would be to uninstall McAfee and install some other anti-virus program.

These all have a lot going for them, and are very much equivilent to McAfee in terms of robustness, and they are also free, and tend to take up a substantially smaller footprint than McAfee or Norton would.
