AskWoody Loungerwell this is beginning to p*** me off. i found 2 MacAfee folders on the c drive that appear to have the files i see in task manager but once again it will not let me delete or change the permissions. there has got to be a way to get rid of this.

AskWoody LoungerI just downloaded and installed it. It did not show up when I checked for updates so i used the upgrade assistant.
It took longer than I expected about a hour and 15 minutes mostly install. So much for the intermediate upgrades being faster.
This brings me up to version 19042.572
I was under the impression this had the new start menu but I sure done see any changes.

AskWoody LoungerI had the same problem yesterday. I killed the processes and tried again a couple of hours later and it worked fine. Probably a server issue on MBAM’S side.

AskWoody LoungerYesterday when I looked mine said activate only and when I clicked on it it only gave me the option to enter a activation code.
I will try again later. This time I used the uninstall option from their support tool. Maybe there was something left over from previous installations.
