Did you by chance not restart your computer immediately after the update? I did not. I too got the crash but at the restart it gave me the options window with the different ways to restart the computer. I just said start computer normally and everything is fine now. Bottom line is, I believe, after McAfee updates and a restart is required do so immediately and dont say restart later.
Twice in the last 3 weeks my Dell computer went "blue screen" after an automatic update of McAfee's security program that I got with the computer. Their technical people were of no use online (my computer crashed..."are you using the computer with the problem?" no it crashed ..."what is your problem?") I hired someone to get it started again (wasn't sure if there wasn't some other issue) The same thing happened 2 weeks later, and for sure it was only the McAfee update that was the only change.I was able to get into Safe Mode and restore. I asked McAfee for at least a refund since I can't ever use the program. They referred me to Dell. Dell has been unresponsive....the most recent update is clearly NOT Windows 7 compatible and apparently neither Dell nor McAfee care. Buyer beware
