I'm having the same problem and I do have McAfee but what if I don't want to uninstall it? Is there any settings that I can change in McAfee to make it work without uninstalling the program? I kind of wanted to keep my antivirus program becuz I'm kind of paranoid about things. Or is there a better FREE antivirus program that I can use?
