Computer help! Application error??

[BibbidiBobbidiBOO]

I installed McAfee as my Norton's just expired and Comcast offered free McAfee. I followed all the instructions, it said it had "timed out" after the firewall was installed. Now I am getting constant popups that say Application Error...The instruction at...referenced memory at .....The memory could not be "read". Then it says to click ok to terminate the program or cancel to debug it. I have tried the cancel button and more keep popping up. I don't even know what this all means! HELP!!!!

My DH suggested you uninstall McAfee, and before reinstalling it check Nortons is fully removed. (You should only have one anti-virus installed at a time)

Hope this helps

you need to completely uninstall Norton first. Norton is notorious for wreaking havoc with other programs.

From your control panel, add or remove programs, then find all the Norton programs and remove them, including Symantec Live Update, and any other Symantec or Live Update programs. This will completely purge Norton out of there.

Then you can reinstall McAfee.

I had already completely uninstalled Nortons before installing McAfee's.
I decided to put the error reading in google and got a page from the McAfee Forum. Seems this is happening to lots of people. People uninstalled the McAfee Privacy service and the error boxes went away! Worked for me too! Yeah! From what I am reading, I don't think I really need the privacy service. ?? Anybody know that for sure?

This explains what was happening should anyone else ever encounter this. I don't really understand!
