Look hella better since the last time I have seen this product. Probably will test it out tonight on a VM.

This happens frequently on fresh installs and might due to a missing redistributable. Run McAfee removal tool and McAfee Pre-install tool.#
Then you can install it again. The pre-install tool will install the redistributable for you.

Uninstalling McAfee is pain. I installed Mcafee on my other device. It installed with the new GUi but after a system restart, it reverted to the old one. I guess i will have to wait until they force the new GUi because it is not the first time to have this problem with McAfee.

Can you provide the full path to the executable?

That’s Common Build Startup. It’s used to initiate the user mode processes startup sequence and should normally disappear once it’s done. I would try rebooting and see if it persists.

OMG! Why so many processes!!! I would hate to open my task manager if I was using McAfee.
I prefer ESET and Kaspersky's method. Only 2 processes for everything.

I'm impressed with Web advisor, saved me from some dangerous site of downloading series and some creepy ads.

Great web filtering.

It is also able to block only the malicious content of a site eg: third party scripts instead of blocking the whole site. I like this feature.

If you notice it is always listed as one of the least on system impact. That is why I think, because it splits up the processes so you have a bunch of micro/mini cpu usage and multitasking instead of one huge cpu hog process.

I understand. It's just annoying to look at the task manager, that's it.

LOL I agree, I don't like seeing a million tasks/processes from one program either!
