McAfee Update (8/9/10) causes win 7 Problems
I got an update to the security center for McAfee this morning. I would NOT advise putting it in
After the update, it ran fine until I tried to connect to the net, at which point it froze the entire PC repeatedly every time I tried to connect.
Also found the following messages:
The Network List Service service depends on the Network Location Awareness service which failed to start because of the following error:
The dependency service or group failed to start.
Event ID 7001The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:The McAfee Network Agent service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

There's too many other errors to list........DCOM got error "1053" attempting to start the service mcmscsvc with arguments "" in order to run the server:
Also, it reset all of my security settings to "off".
After doing a system restore, I now find that McAfee security center only presents 1/2 a window. I can't access any of the controls to make sure the settings are back.
Seriously, I am tired of McAfee. What's the matter guys, didn't slam enough PC's when you took out a bunch of XP machines???? Gunning for Vista & Win 7 now?
I'm in the market for a new AV most definately. McAfee can take this useless piece of software & go blow a goat.
NOTE: I am also running MSE on the system....which I trust a hell of a lot more then McAfee. I really wouldn't feel safe without MSE on the system.
