I'm afraid to admit but over the years I have simply taken to ignoring it completely as invariably it's a false alarm, at least in my case. Simply something slow to start I assume.
I'm sorry for being repetitive, but then again, I just want to be sure, so will you kindly please answer my following questions again, Ex_Brit?
1) Do you still experience this with the latest build of McAfee Security Center?
2) Does it have a red pop up saying your computer is at risk when OAS was turned off?
3) Does it interfere with full screen apps when the pop up came up? I was not able to test this yet.
4) Can you be so kind to escalate this to the Techs so they can look into it? Perhaps do something to at least mask over the annoying pop ups for now. As far as I know, we cannot turn off the alerts at the moment.
Thanks in advance!

3) Does it interfere with full screen apps when the pop up came up? I was not able to test this yet. Not that I have noticed but I don't use many apps - mostly I'm in my browser and email only.

Thanks in advance! They are aware of it but I will ask someone to look in here if you wish, This sort of thing can onjly be sorted out by you haveing a session with a technician. I will email my contact.
OK I just emailed my Support contact...no idea how long it will take though as they are half way around the world from me.
Thanks, man! I'll keep my fingers crossed.
OK, good luck 😉

Ok, I've monitored it for awhile and for almost 4 days, nothing wrong happens. But yesterday night, McShield.exe crashed again, once. It crashed again once, today afternoon.
I've sifted through the event logs and found a new entry that may be linked to this. I hope the techs can take note.

Now this entry was a few hours BEFORE the crash happened. I wonder it may have anything to do with it.
I'm hoping someone will chip in their support here, I asked for it.
As for the actual error messages themselves, they are the same ones like the ones I posted before. Something about ole32.dll being the fault. I hope McAfee techs can step into this case and investigate if possible as it's annoying when it crashes randomly.
