Register according to the instructions on the screen. You have to register the software to
protect the PC with the latest security information.
■ If you cannot find McAfee Security Center icon on the Taskbar or as a shortcut icon on
the Desktop, then double click McAfee Web Essentials icon and install the program.
■ If you install McAfee SecurityCenter and another security solution (e.g. Norton Internet
Security, Kaspersky, etc.) on the same computer, your computer performance may
become degraded and your computer may not be protected from threats due to a conflict
