Hi there, I need your appreciated help.
I just upgraded McAfee Security Center and every few minutes i keep getting a "Windows File Protection" box popping up.the box says "Files required by Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions. Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD-ROM now."
If i put in the cd and then remove it hours after i get the popup again.
Is there any way to make this stop?
Every time restart the PC video card drivers are lost.
Thanks in advance.

Messaggio modificato da JuanMercado on 23/07/11 6.58.55 CDTWhen you upgraded McAfee Security Center did you use the MCPR removal tool? MCPR is found at the top of this page under Useful Links and it essentially cleans all the McAfee related files out of your system. It seems as though some corruption has occurred so a fresh install of McAfee needs to be done.
Go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall and reboot the computer. Run MCPR and reboot again. Login into you online McAfee account and download and install your software and you should be good to go.
Godd Luck
Thanks, I following your instructions and I have reinstall McAfee Securty Center with MCPR.
Now I don't receive the alert box says "Files required by Windows...", but Windows Security Center Alert popup:
Can you help me?

I posted the incorrect link another poster has ati issues as well. If you can run a MER program run as I asked at the last couple of posts
https://community.mcafee.com/message/199407#199407
Mer is found at mer.mcafee.com and needs to be accessed via Internet Explorer
Run it choosing the option consumer falcon and save to a file which I will get you to email to me.
Do not choose upload as it will get lost.
Any assistance helpful I sent my logs as well though my issue low key.
Ok, thanks this is the output for mer.mcafee.com: http://www.4shared.com/file/qjvhHk4D/CONROE94-775D2A_0.html

Here we go again...
Another uninstall / reinstall run around.
JuanMercado mate - this is EXACTLY the issue in this thread...

Don't waste your time uninstalling / reinstalling the buggy McAfee software - you need to disable the real time scanner, which does not work correctly with Windows XP SP3.
When oh when will someone (anyone) from the big M make a technical reply to this ongoing and growing problem???
That is what I said as well. JuanMercado best to post your next posts in that thread I will lock this 1
