My system is Windows 10 and McAfee is up to date.

This is a new PC that came with McAfee installed.

I removed it and reinstalled on my own licence but it made no difference.

I see old references to a similar problem but nothing new

Remote assistance from support including clean reinstall seems to have fixed it.

I've run MVT twice.

Log file attached.  This also shows versions.

Still got the error after each restart,

I'll see what support think.

You shouldn't worry about that as long as SecurityCenter itself is green and states that it is protecting you.

However if you want to make certain you can either install, cleanup and reinstall as per TS101331 or

contact Technical Support, it's free of charge: Technical Support & Customer Service

...and a second thought, make sure your system clock is accurate.  That sometimes causes these things.
