Plusnet Protect (McAfee Anti Virus)

[#1]

Just reinstalled Windows7 and tried to re-install McAfee but I'm receiving an error message about mcmscins.dll not being designed to run on Windows.

I've tried the McAfee software removal tool (MCPR.exe ) but that wasn't successful either.

any clues on how to fix this?

thanks

Try here...the download is on the right hand side at the top.

Or re-install Mcafee 2012

There is another option ,, Use another free AV you dont have  to use McAfee

Pete,

Thanks for the link but it didn't work.  I put the dll in the system folder as it suggested and also tried the temporary installation folder of McAfee but still got the same message,

[Then I suggest you take up rongtw's advice and install a different AV. Something like Avast or AVG.]

Looking at the screenshot in the op it looks like a bad download of McAfee so I suggest re-downloading and trying again.

hi All,

It's fixed & I think I know why.  I reinstalled Windows7 and the existing system was archived to a directory called Windows.Old.

While housekeeping and finishing the installation, I deleted the the old install and \program files\ and also re-downloaded (again) the installer.

Seems that through a combination of the above it cleared the issue and MCAfee installed without a problem,

cheers,

Adrian

Glad to know it's all sorted.
