Re: McAfee not registering with security centre

I dont think my posts are hard to understand (?) but there seems to be some misunderstanding-I KNOW that when the trial runs out i will NOT be covered.
So a few days before it runs out,thats when i get NORTON on.

Are you saying that even with Norton i still have to remove McAfee files for norton to work?

My main concern is whether McAfee is covering me right now since security is saying it cannot find the product?
Thanks

trial runs out uncovered. dont need to wait untill then. You must remove mcafee for norton to run correctly. mcaffee is running out. You can wiat till last second and if something goes wrong be unprotected, or change over now in case

Hope this helps

Re: McAfee not registering with security centre

Im sorry if it sounded like i was refusing peoples suggestions-was not-after all,why would i when i dont know any better?

"I dont think my posts are hard to understand (?)" i ended this with a question mark as a way of saying "i believe i'm making sense but really maybe i'm not-AM I?! " It just seemed like the specific question i needed answering was not answered.ie i have mcafee but security saying no.

Anyhow,thanks Noddsta for redeeming yourself in my eyes and Ken ,as always for coming to my rescue.

To finalise this for good while waiting for help i phoned DELL and guess what? they tell me a trial version does not have full capabilities.
So did any of you smarty pants know THAT?

So i shall now get norton on asap and in mean time check out the links you provided. Thankyou.

Hello fellow Aussie [ from the best State in Oz.]
Good to know that it is all now resolved.
It is important to follow lemur's advice re the McAfee Removal Tool prior to installing Norton.
Good luck & let us know how it goes.
