Can't access or run McAfee anti-virus

by male6 Mar 21, 2008 2:48PM PDT

I have a Dell Dimension desktop (approx. 4 years old) and I
cannot open my McAfee anti-virus software nor can I run a
virus scan. When I power on my computer it looks like McAfee
is opening up and I see the "M" in the system tray, but
when I double click or even right click to open it, nothing
happens. Also, I am no longer receiving live updates. I am
running Windows XP SP2. If anyone can help me out, I'd much
appreciate it.

Might try the forum that focuses on AV software.

Might try reinstalling McAfee.
