Hi Pillbox
I've had advice on here so I'm delighted to be able to give some back: forget McAfee and download one of the free antivirus things like Avast. Just go for the free download and do what it tells you to.
HTH (hope that helps)

How old is your computer
Some programmes don’t work on old operating systems If its is
Don’t upgrade old versions, the new versions wont work eg pdf, flash, extra
