Reinstall mcafee virus protection

It came with Windows Vista and was eligible for a Windows 7 upgrade. It also came with 36 months of McAfee Security Center. Today I upgraded to Windows 7. The upgrade assistant had me uninstall McAfee. Once Windows was run and several softwares were reinstalled automatically, nothing occurred to reinstall McAfee and I cannot figure out how to go about doing so.

Any advise would be appreciated. It would seem Dell would have some patch or download for this but I haven't found anything Hi colleen and welcome to DeLL Forums. If you register your McAfee, you can download it from here:. Remember to deactivate your security programs that you are using right now to be able to download and install McAfee.

I know, it is crazy and I did not like it either, but when I used McAfee, I had to go to that address and downloaded and installed it, otherwise it would tell you that it can not install it because you are using another security program. You can request a set of back up disk for your system in the USA here. Mean while you can use any of these free programs to be safe in the web while you secure your copy of McAfee. Hope it helps you.

How do I register with McAfee when it came with the computer from Dell? The software for my system is available under my account on the Dell site, however when I try to reinstall McAfee is says it is incompatible.

If I am right, it was when McAfee came out the first time in your machine. If I am wrong, you can try here:. It's taken care of. Prior to receiving this email from you I decided to go to McAfee and attempt chat for assistance. They took care of it and did so promptly. I attempted such assistance with Dell and the chat option wouldn't even work kept getting warning that site couldn't be found. You are welcome and happy Holidays.

I also need to reload my McAfee. Last year I started recieving a renewal notice that it was gonna expire. I was really upset by then, so I called back. I get a gentleman on the phone that says ok, we'll reinstall it.
