Re: McAfee not starting

From: "Wayne" <pimentalw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| I'm hoping someone can help me, my McAfee anti virus is not starting on
| schedule. I checked in the scheduled task folder in control panels and
| everything is ok. Even in the McAfee options, the schedule is checked
| off and time is correct. I even went into services, and all is fine
| there too. This all happened last week for no reason, everything was
| working just fine, then all of a sudden, it stops working! I have no
| idea what to do next. I even called the help line at McAfee, the guy was
| a total jerk and knew nothing, I ended up hanging the phone up, it was
| that bad!
| I got the McAfee from Comcast, it's free, and I even uninstalled it, and
| installed it again, still does not work on schedule.
| Thanks for your help.

You have to supply an administrative account and password for a scheduled job to execute
through Control panel --> Scheduled Tasks.
