[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 89360, post: 923903"] I advise you to perform the following steps: First and most important, back up your data, specially documents and media files. You can use specialised software or you can simply copy on flash drive, external HDD, or upload to a secure cloud location, such as OneDrive. Then think about what exactly you are "getting the way you like". Does that include downloading illegitimate pirated software? It's possible that you are executing something that really performs process hollowing/code injection and this might cause McAfee to raise alerts. I would advise you to install McAfee prior to "getting everything the way you like" and monitor whether the alert will appear. Ideally, install McAfee right after your system reset. If the issue still persists before any software installation and/or you are installing only apps from legitimate sources, you can request to speak with a level 2 technician over the phone. A level one technician which you can contact via chat support can schedule the call and they will take it from there. In the meantime, before you do anything, you can run the McAfee GetSusp tool, which detects more threats than regular scans.
