My mcafee is behaving strangely when it updated to version 16.0 R29. It does not allow to open, save any files or apps like calculator, notepad etc. Unable to install new apps.
Tried uninstalling it-----> blocking appwiz.cpl !
Always showing "We Stopped Something Dangerous". I have no option other than a full system restore via usb. Again same repeats. After another restore i scanned with MB,HMP,KAS, BIT, WD and last FS. result=all clean

I just discovered a new thing that disabling RTP makes everything work!
Please check my pc.
