    Every time I turn on my computer I get a McAfee Scan screen asking for a full scan or quick scan. I cannot clear it no matter what I do. I can still use the laptop to get internet Explorer or any thing else, Its frustrating tha I cannot clear McAfee off the screen. I left computer on for most of the day in case it was doing a scan but no good.
    Also how do I clear the Bar at the top of the screen. Hope someone can help.

    Is it Windows 7 or 8?

    If it's windows 7, click the start button, click control panel, and then finally click programs.

    When this window loads, find McAfee and then click and remove McAfee.

    Once done, I presume you will not have any anti virus protection, you can then use internet explorer to download "Microsoft Security Essentials" (google this to find where to download it).



    I do not know what you mean by "bar at the top of the screen..."
