Hi @Kurt66 

Please let me know the error that occurs when you try to reinstall McAfee.

Meanwhile, can you try uninstalling McAfee again[With traces as well] using the Article How to remove McAfee products from a PC that runs Windows

Then, install using the McAfee Article How to download and install McAfee consumer products 

Let me know the outcome.

Regards,
Madhan M

Dear Madhan

I checked again, that the SW is fully removed and downloaded again McAfee AntiVirus Plus from my account. I got the following error msg while installing:

"Leider konnte die McAfee-Software nicht installiert werden. Fehler beim Installieren der folgenden Komponenten: SecurityCenter"

I tried also the SW Install Helper, but it was not able to "successfully resolve the issue"

Hello @Kurt66 

This could be due to a Malware or some old third party traces present on the computer. Also, even due to pending windows updates.

Please access the McAfee Article McAfee Malware Cleaner: What is it? to clean any Malware on the computer. Once its done, check if there are any old traces of third party Anti Virus programs and remove them. Check if there is any pending Windows update and ensure its completely updated.

Try re-installing McAfee and let me know the outcome.

Madhan M

Hello Madhan

I did clean the Laptop with the Malware Cleaner (several files deleted) and deleted manually the ByteFence SW. The installation process did start normally, but at 80% I get the same error msg.
