    This McAfee problem seems common now - I installed it fresh on my OHs PC and it came up straight away unprotected. It does it almost every single day on mine too. I am dealing with it and going to unleash my wrath on McAfee for not providing the service for which they are charging and get my money back if I can

    does it ask to verify the installation by clicking on a link in an email sent to you

    I've been using them for 5 years and never had a problem until now. Its always worth asking and threatening to leave two subscriptions can't hurt. Mine runs out next month
