screen icon

Hello. Can anyone advise how to make the PC screen icon stay in the top left hand corner where I want it. Each time I use the PC, it has returned to somewhere in the middle of the screen. Not a serious matter but annoying.

 Thanks for your help. Not being technically minded, I have clicked on the icon and tried to create a shortcut. Rightclicking as I normally would does not work at all. How do I create a new short cut for this product.

Go to Start >All Programs > McAfee > Total Protection (or whatever the name is of your suite)  and right-click it and select 'Send to' then select 'Desktop (Create Shortcut)' and a shortcut will be placed on your desktop which you can then move anywhere you want by clicking and dragging it and hopefully it will stay where you put it.

It's a known issue.  Delete the icon that the software made automatically and then create a shortcut to the SecurityCenter item in your Start/All Programs menu.  That one should stay wherever you put it and sorry for the inconvenience.

I have a SHORTCUT ICON issue also, and none of the responses here fix it.  I'm using Win 7pro and I don't use desktop shortcut icons period.  I cannot delete McAfee's shortcut, as it returns everytime I restart the computer.  I have McAfee on the taskbar, there is no reason I need it on the desktop but it will not go away.  This seemed to start after the latest product update. (McAfee Security Center)  Any ideas?

Thanks......

There's a very long thread on this and this post in particular from McAfee states what the problem is:  https://community.mcafee.com/message/219977#219977   - the fix will be posted to that thread whenever it is released.

* Important Terms and Offer Details:

  Subscription, Free Trial, Pricing and Automatic Renewal Terms:

  • The amount you are charged upon purchase is the price of the first term of your subscription. The length of your first term depends on your purchase selection (e.g. 1 month or 1 year).  Once your first term is expired, your subscription will be automatically renewed on an annual basis (with the exception of monthly subscriptions, which will renew monthly) and you will be charged the renewal subscription price in effect at the time of your renewal, until you cancel (Vermont residents must opt-in to auto-renewal.)
  • Unless otherwise stated, if a savings amount is shown, it describes the difference between the introductory first term price (available only to customers without an existing McAfee subscription) and the renewal subscription price (e.g., first term price vs. each year thereafter).
  • Pricing is subject to change. If the renewal price changes, we will notify you in advance so you always know what’s going on.
  • You can cancel your subscription or change your auto-renewal settings any time after purchase from your My Account page. To learn more, click here.
  • You may request a refund by contacting Customer Support within 30 days of initial purchase or within 60 days of automatic renewal (for 1 year terms or longer).
  • Your subscription is subject to our License Agreement and Privacy Notice. Subscriptions covering "all" devices are limited to supported devices that you own. Product features may be added, changed or removed during the subscription term.  Not all features may be available on all devices.  See System Requirements for additional information.
  • Free Trial Terms: At the end of your trial period you will be charged $39.99 for the first term. After the first term, you will be automatically renewed at the renewal price (currently $124.99/yr). We will charge you 7-days before renewal. You can cancel at any time before you are charged. ​

 **Free Benefits With Auto-Renewal:

  • For many qualifying product subscriptions McAfee offers additional benefits for free when you are enrolled in auto-renewal. You can check your eligibility for these benefits in your My Account page. Not all benefits are offered in all locations or for all product subscriptions.  System Requirements apply.   Turning off auto-renewal terminates your eligibility for these additional benefits. 
  • Virus Protection Pledge (VPP): If we cannot remove a virus from your supported device we’ll refund you the amount you paid for your current term subscription.  The refund does not apply to any damage or loss caused by a virus.  You are responsible for backing up your data to prevent data loss. See terms here: mcafee.com/pledge.
  • Safe Connect VPN:  You will receive free, unlimited access to our VPN wireless on supported devices. Users not on auto-renewal have access to 500 MB/month of bandwidth.

   ‡Additional Terms Specific to Identity Monitoring Service:

  • Eligibility: McAfee® Identity Monitoring Service Essentials is available within active McAfee Total Protection and McAfee LiveSafe subscriptions with identity monitoring for up to 10 unique emails. Phone number monitoring is enabled upon activation of Automatic Renewal. Not all identity monitoring elements are available in all countries. See Product Terms of Service for more information. 
  • Your subscription is subject to our License Agreement and Privacy Notice. Product features may be added, changed or removed during the subscription term. Some features may require registration and a valid ID number to activate. See System Requirements for additional information.
  • While McAfee Identity Monitoring Service provides you tools and resources to protect yourself from identity theft, no identity can be completely secure.
  • US Only:
    Fair Credit Reporting Act: You have numerous rights under the FCRA, including the right to dispute inaccurate information in your credit report(s). Consumer reporting agencies are required to investigate and respond to your dispute, but are not obligated to change or remove accurate information that is reported in compliance with applicable law. While this plan can provide you assistance in filing a dispute, the FCRA allows you to file a dispute for free with a consumer reporting agency without the assistance of a third party.
  • Identity theft coverage is not available in New York due to regulatory requirements.
