Re: McAfee Security Centre - Cannot download

Repost:

You've got an existing hijackware infection. Attempting to install an
anti-virus application (i.e., McAfee Security Center freebie from your ISP)
after the fact is NOT going to help (even if you could somehow manage to
install it).

Backup your personal data, then do a format & clean install of Windows.
Please note that a Repair Install (AKA in-place upgrade) will NOT fix this!

After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so
take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting
the machine to the internet or a network and before using a USB key that
isn't brand-new or hasn't been freshly formatted:

Hi Richard

Yes I would be afraid of deleting something that I should not. If I knew
what the thing was called and where to look.

The error happens preinstallation and when McAfee collects the data needed
and then McAfee scans the computer for compatility. It is at this stage
that I get the error.

even McAfee cannot assist me.

It`s a bug - open regedit , find it , delete it .

Jim. You assume that Freda knows how to use regedit. A dangerous
assumption for novices.

Freda. Can you provide more details?
When do you get this error message? At startup? When you open a program?
What Program? etc. The more detailed information you provide, the better
solution you will be given.
