Hi, I am using McAfee Security Centre with Windows Vista and have come across an issue where I can no longer open the main McAfee window. Instead, I get a blank white screen where the welcome screen would normally appear. Only by using task manager can I close this.
If I try to uninstall or repair MSC using control panel / programs and features, I get the same white screen and again have to use task manager to close it.
It appears to be causing a problem where I am unable to access any sites that require login (hotmail, aol etc) in Internet Explorer (however is okay in Chrome)
Can anyone help?
I have tried downloading McAfee Virtual Technician but this crashes in a similar fashion, with just the MVT heading at the top of a window.
You have either javascript corruption or a non-standard font is causing this.
