Re: Total Protection

​,

                   Do you have any prior Security applications still installed on your system, which may be incompatible with your McAfee Software? If so I would remove them before following the same procedures. You can also contact Technical Support 24/7 at no cost to you.

                   Via Phone/Online Chat being by far the quickest. https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/cp/home/contact

Re: Total Protection

I recommend that you uninstall your Avast Application from your Control Panel/Programs and Features/restart.

Then use the Avast removal tool to remove any remnants. As running (2) Anti-Virus applications can cause conflicts/clashes and actually leave you vulnerable to infections.
