Internet Security Install Fail

[Majestic]

I'm trying to install IS 2010 on 'Win 7 Ult' but it can't even get account details at all cause it tries to download antipiracycheck.aspx every damn time. (images below)

I also can't install through disc cause IS 2010 can't validate itself, which seems to be the case with everyone.

Anyway to fix this crap?

Hi Majestic,

Please run this tool in the computer in which you have the problem , and report back if this gives out any email address or any McAfee products.

Also let me know the following details ;

What is the operating system of the computer ?
How is the computer connected to internet ?
Did we have any McAfee products in the mchine previously ?

Run what tool? You didn't specify or give a link to one.

• Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600)
• Wired, router, ADSL.
• Had the product on my laptop, but had to uninstall as it couldn't detect a virus which every other AV could, so to delete it I had to install another free AV.

Sorry for that here is the tool http://us.mcafee.com/apps/agent/tools/ts/ts_getemail_new.asp.  .Click on this link and let me know if it displays blank or any other information with McAfee .

Did we run the mcafee removal tool while uninstalling the programs ?

Yes I get a blank page when I go to that link.

I did use the removal tool when I uninstalled the program.

EDIT: Downloaded the program from http://home.mcafee.com/Store/Downloads.aspx as "Try Now" option, now I get the activation problem that IS a bug but  you claim isn't.  If it doesn't activate, it refuses to update even by  manual. With all these problems I am even considering downloading a  nulled version.

I had already done that, 1st time nothing changed, 2nd it was escalated twice to teir 2.

After 2 hours they didn't know what was wrong.

Anyway I managed to fix it myself since McAfee or even Microsoft couldn't (McAfee tech said it was their problem).

The user agent for Internet Explorer (In the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent)) had been changed to

Google Crawl Bot (+www.somerussiansite.ru/somethingrussian.html) .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E; something russian; something russian; something russian; something russian with some legit things

Removing the russian counterparts in 'Post Platform' sub-section of 'User Agent' and in 'Accepted Documents', and restoring the correct setting for the useragent fixed the problem.

Fix

Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet  Settings\5.0\User Agent

• '(Default)' - Mozilla/5.0
  
• 'Compatiple' - compatiple
  
• 'Platform' - Windows NT 6.1
  
• 'Version' - MSIE 8.0

Windows NT 6.1 means Windows 7, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT#Releases

Oh, btw I don't know any russian at all so I wouldn't have changed it  myslef. Shame you can't my your own posts as the correct answer.
