Check and delete if you have any other security software remnants from C:/program files and common files.

Restart the computer and start tapping the F8 key , from the windows advanced boot options menu select safe mode with networking, (ignore this step if you are using a wireless connection)

Run the preinstall tool from http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/McPreInstall.exe and then install the programs from your account page.

can you able to see your product status by login on https://home.mcafee.com/Secure/Protected/Login.aspx. Check your product status. If you have a valid subscription then go to online mcafee support http://home.mcafee.com/Root/Support.aspx?page=Support. And call any technical executive to help you remotely...........
