I'm having problems with mcafee security?

i had mcafee installed from comcast probably sometime in like early 06 when my free trial of norton gave off. a month or two ago, something happened. now everytime im on the computer, theres no mcafee logo on the taskbar, and i can't open it from the start menu, the desktop, or my program files folder. however when i open the task manager, it says mcafee is running. any ideas on how to fix it so that i can open it?

Oh, that



Symptoms



After you start the computer, one or more of the icons that should be present in the system tray (notification area) of the Taskbar are often missing. Correct?



Cause



The cause of this problem is not known, but it's almost certainly a bug in Windows XP.



Solution



There is no known solution, but there are workarounds that may reduce the frequency of this annoying occurrence.



Check task bar settings



Checking your Taskbar PropertiesYou may know this already, but the Windows XP task bar has an option to hide unused icons. So the reason some icons are disappearing might be that you haven't used them for a long time and Windows has decided that they should be hidden. To check this option:



* right-click the Taskbar



* select Properties



* clear the check box Hide inactive icons
