I recently downloaded McAfee Livesafe which works fine but every time i open Google Chrome it takes me to McAfee's own launch page and it wont let me change it i settings. It also warns me that their launch page is a dangerous websites and advises me to not go on it, any help?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Probably due to Webadvisor.
Go to the Green/Red McAfee icon at top right of page, click Options and select as shown below:
If that fails to cure it. Go to Control Panel : Programs and Features and uninstall McAfee WebAdvisor
Then go to the Chrome App store and download it again from there. Make sure the settings are changed as above.

3 points of interest here :
1 - "every time i open Google Chrome it takes me to McAfee's own launch page"
What exactly is the URL in the address bar of this launch page?
Take a screenshot if you can and select or highlight the topmost part of the screen
2 - "It .. warns me that their launch page is .. dangerous"
That I assume is WebAdvisor kicking in and complaining about the site that Chrome is trying to load as its
home page. If the home page is a genuine McAfee web page WebAdvisor should not be doing that.
3 - "it wont let me change it in settings"
You mean Chrome settings? Like this?
You must be trying to set a page via option 3 in 'On startup'
What message do you get when you try to set a startup page?
Thank you, this has managed to solve all the issues! perfect cheers mate
