During the installation process, if McAfee Total Protection 2012 detects another security software (whether a trial McAfee version or a third-party program), it will prompt you to remove it.
Also, it will launch a pre- virus scan of your computer for viruses, malware, spyware etc. and remove them during the installation process. This will take some time, so be patient. When done, the program will look for the latest updates, virus and malware definitions and install them. Wait for all the updates to be installed. When done, McAfee will launch the user interface showing the security, firewall, real-time scanning, and update status of your computer. If you want to configure firewall or update settings, check the features listed under Features on the interface. Reboot your computer afterwards.
If McAfee Total Protection 2012 came pre-installed with your computer, you need not install it further. Also, you will see a McAfee icon on your desktop screen or in the system tray. Connect to the internet and McAfee will automatically prompt you to register and activate the program. Enter a username and password and a valid email address to create a McAfee account. Make a note of the details and keep it safe. When done, the program will look for updates and install them. If you desire, launch a full virus scan of your computer. Or else, configure the settings as desired.
