Destop shortcut problem is not fixed

Jump to solution

Time Warner Cable has just switched its customers to McAfee Anti-Virus.  Installation went fine but McAfee puts a shortcut on my clean desktop and no matter how many times I delete it, it reappears.  McAfee has had this problem before and reported it fixed for the US on January 17, 2012 in version 11.0.654.  https://community.mcafee.com/docs/DOC-3361

BUT it isn't fixed.  I am running version 11.0, Build 11.0.654, Affld 910 on a Windows 7 64 bit platform.

Thank you.   The second step appears to have fixed the problem.
