I can't update my anti virus(McAfee Internet Security)

Jump to solution

Yesterday I had to use the system restore because I had a computer problem. When I returned to windows, McAfee said it had updates disabled and no anti virus protection. So I decided to uninstall and install again, now the result is that i can't update my anti virus.
