Re: Every time I start my computer the Mcafee "main" window opens

I know. Why the delay for updating is annoying but I feel they want Xmas over as staff levels low. Should happen or at least start rolling out early this month.

A side issue is the stupid removal of copy function when looking at the "About", it was great when supporting users. In one go you used to get all relevant text info.
Talking a user through multiple copy / paste with scroll down.... other things are more productive

Removal? It has never been there i past 6 years at least we mods have been banging our heads trying to get a copy and paste functionality in about.

Unless I have missed an option.

Sorry, I was unclear. At work we have McAfee VirsuScan Enterprise and at home I now have McAfee Total Protection. The former has an "About" with an excellent "copy to clipboard" button. The latter a stupid picture that you have to screen-dump.

So I think we are in total agreement, McAfee please give us  the copy button.

I have been having the same annoyance with the application opening on startup as the OP and many others who have posted, and was hoping for the version update to fix it. I checked today - after seeing the unwanted screen at startup - and saw a 'Release Name' of "16.0 R6" (presumably = 16.0.6). This update appears not to have fixed the problem!

So are you saying you saw 16.0.r6 as your current version? That does fix it at least it did for me.

That is what I was saying. However, it is conceivable that the upgrade happened between when I started up the computer and when I checked the version. I didn't see the problem on startup this morning, so I am keeping my fingers crossed!
