Error message flashes that Privacy service is "missing a component" and the
McAfee service must be reinstalled. When I attempt to reinstall it (it cost
35 USD online for a year!)...I'm told that "my file is more up to date than
the one I just downloaded...presumably the plain old Windows XP Home edition.
Also, does anybody have a phone number to McAfee that connects to a person
who is not in Eastern Patook and can actually HELP you?

Don't know the difference between PS2 and USB,
Seems these acro-nyms are getting the best of me
Why farm out customer support to the Philippines?
Seems kinda strange...
They don't even make "HELP" in the USA...anymore.
