Scan Engine fails to start on startup after reset

Using a VM, I installed McAfee Total Protection. All was well and the DATs updated. However, a reboot occurs, the scanner will fail to start automatically on system startup.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: McLogEvent
Event ID: 5022
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Description:
MCSCAN32 Engine Initialisation failed. Engine returned error : 8


Simply clicking "Fix It" in the security center (or starting the mcshield service) shortly after logon re-enables the service and resumes normal operation.
