Use Avast Home - free and very good

http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

Dell probably only included a copy on your hard drive which
was wiped when you formatted it.... use the Avast,

Re: i cant reinstall macafee

Why would you want to install McAfee again? Like Norton, McAfee isn't all it
is made out to be. There are a few 'free' alternatives in the anti virus
stakes, AVG is one (http://free.grisoft.com) and Avast (www.avast.com) is
another. Windows Vista has its own firewall, which is more than adequate and
it also has Windows Defender which protect you from spyware/malware.

Some of us got the McAfee Security Center with our Dell purchase. In order
to reinstall McAfee purchased through Dell, you need to go to the Dell-McAfee
website link shown below and log in to redownload without being charged again.
