[QUOTE="agilliam, post: 923894, member: 90287"] So after the update in December mcafee has taken complete control over my pc. I have had to reset my ox keeping my files 6 times now. Every time I reset I get everything the way I like and then install mcafee. As soon as mcafee is installed I can’t run cmd, power shell, regedit, not even manage users. After I uninstall it works fine. But when it’s installed I constantly get “mcafee has stopped a dangerous program” or mcafee stopped a application trying to hijack...... that only appears when I try to run cmd or regedit or anything like that. As soon as it’s uninstalled it works fine. I’m running windows 10 build 2004 and the latest mcafee off their site. Not enterprise just consumer. I’m at a loss. Thanks to mcafee I have lost a lot of information. They advised me to do a reset so they could remote in. They were unable to remote in while mcafee was installed and/or running. When it’s out the computer works perfect. Any ideas wth is wrong? [/QUOTE]
