Hello,
When I came the desktop after formatting the hard drive, I installed entire
mcafee security center, this mcafee security center was factory installed on
this dell computer system( and also this mcafee security center is on a
resource cd from dell) and I enabled the mcafee personal firewall plus
services first, then the mcafee virus scan and then the mcafee privacy
services.
There is no wireless in the house.
When I start the computer system up in the mornings, the mcafee personal
firewall plus services is disabled, the mcafee virus scan program is disabled
and when I restart the mcafee personal firewall plus services, in the
services, I receive this error message:
Firewall Background Services Stopped/ A user or other application has
stopped the mcafee personal firewall plus services.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled and have peformed a clean install of the
entire mcafee security center and I am still faced with the same problems
with the entire mcafee security center and the mcafee personal firewall plus
services being disabled.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mcafee virus scan program, numerous
times and still the mcafee virus scan program is not listed in the services.
