Answer by Robert Polubinski

No, McAfee Security Scan Plus won't fix all the security issues you have щn your computer when Windows is running, but it checks the most vital aspects of the operating system: antivirus information, firewall status, security software. Besides thatб it will also scan applications for known security issues. In case ша you have something related to the items I have mentioned, then yes, McAfee Security Scan Plus will fix them.


For a more accurate scan, I recommend using Secunia PSI: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/


It can be used for applications that can't be fixed with McAfee Security Scan Plus.

For the removal of Ice Cyber Virus, you will need to download and install a trial version of HitmanPro, then start the application. This needs to be done on another computer. Insert a USB drive then click the little black running ICON found next to Settings button when you start the application. Let HitmanPro copy all needed files to the USB drive then boot from the USB drive on the infected computer. Once the HitManPro.KickStart appears, perform a scan and delete everything it finds.


Restart the computer and the ransomware virus will be deleted.

When I purchased the computer, McAfee was purchased and already installed on my PC. I had a malfunction with my PC where I had to send my computer back to Dell to have it repaired. Consequently, my PC had to be reset and all of my information was gone. Certain programs that came with the computer were gone. Now, I don't have McAfee and I'm going to take it upon myself to purchase a new program. What should I do?

Answer by Aiden McLeod

If you have problems with any of the McAfee programs, download the McAfee Cleanup tool from the following website. This utility is developed to scan and fix problems like the one mentioned. If you still experience strange behavior, try to uninstall the McAfee Security Scan Plus application. This can be done from Start > Control Panel > Programs and features. For additional support, contact the developer on the official website.

Answer by Julia Bocchetta

Uninstalling McAfee could affect the functionality of other applications. Try using Revo Uninstaller. Even if it can't uninstall the application normally, it will force it to uninstall by wiping out all traces of its presence from the system. After that, try running AdwCleaner to make sure that there are no leftover rogue registry keys or toolbars in your system.

Answer by Sean Hill

You can use Quarantine to restore an item that has been locked by McAfee. You cannot open a program with McAfee since this is an antivirus solution.
