HELP please! Antivirus Plus corrupted?

iMy scheduled scan is unable to resume or cancelled. It doesn't give any response when clicked. And now I'm unable to scan any files because of this pending scheduled scan. Any idea what's going on?mcafee.png

Re: HELP please! Antivirus Plus corrupted?

Can be several causes

1 Corrupted install you need to uninstall then reinstall the product

2. bad sector on hard disk is the lock on the same file?

3. Virus

really you need to speak to support as we mods do not know Mac OS so best you call them

what OS are you on you need to have McAfee v3.3 for Yosemite
