when trying to fix yellow alerts on security (i.e. signatures out of date), windows askes me to install McAfee. Just purchased and downloaded McAfee two weeks ago. hasn't worked right since then, although have had no problems for three years. Also occasionally pops up that my computer is not protected and I must "fix" the problem.
