my antivirus software stopped

[Guest]

my antivirus (mcafee) stopped and when I click on it in programs the hour
glass comes on for a few seconds the goes off and the software does not
start. When I tried to re download it from the website explorer will not go
there. When I click on system restore it says system restore cannot restore
and that i must restart and try again. I have gone to safe mode and tried to
open the mcafee and it still will not open. any ideas

You may have downloaded a virus that disabled McAfee.

It could be many things causing it:
The drive Sector Mcafee installed went bad.
Mcafee files or configuration corrupted, try uninstall it then
install it.
If you can't uninstall it, delete the Mcafee directory
and re-install it.

Dump McAfee and switch to Norton Internet Security 2006. Your PC will
thank you. (Grin.) Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Dump Norton and switch to AVG and the computer will thank
you.
