Greetings - The most safer way would be to install an Anti-Virus immidietly after a fresh Operating System installation as they tend to give such results when installed at a later stage (well, they tend make usefull OS files inaccessible by locking them away if they cannot delete them as they attempt to protect your computer. You can try to access your computer via safe mode and unistal they McAfee you just installed. They may allow grant you normal access again to your computer and you can then back up you important files befor installing a fress Operating System (Thats if you really want to have McAfee installed).


Hope that is helpful.
