Re: Quickclean Wont Open

adityas123, I hope you don't mind but I moved this to the Quickclean section.  I'm sure you'll agree the 'annoying icon' thread is messy enough without getting sidetracked.

Hopefully someone with that expertise will be along to help.  In the meanwhile you might want to check with Tech Support - free by phone or online chat, tell them you already tried the uninstall routine.

I don't use McAfee QuickClean but adityas is correct . . . it does not launch after clicking it.

Re: Quickclean Wont Open

What version of SecurityCenter & Quickclean are you both running?  Double-click the taskbar icon to open it and then click 'About"

Well that's exactly the same as mine and it opens fine here.

Under PC and Home Network Tools on the home page

I think the best bet is to contact Technical Support linked under Useful Links at the top of this page and if your uninstall/reinstall also involved using the MCPR cleanup tool  (also linked there) then tell them that.  otherwise try it again but use the cleanup tool and reboot before reinstalling from your online account.

Re: Quickclean Wont Open

You're right, it would appear some are getting it.  Are your OS's Windows 7 SP1?   I'm going to boot into that now and see what I get (in Vista at present).

Re: Quickclean Wont Open

Interesting.  Do you have Dell's software installed?  I'm wondering if that's clashing with it as, if I recall, they used to have something very similar to Quickclean incorporated.
