McAfee Antivirus NOT COMPATIBLE with Windows XP Media Center!
I have been getting a "Code 3" error when I attempt to record a show within MCE and had heard that this was related to McAfee's most recent antivirus update. I contacted McAfee about this today and I was informed that their products are NOT COMPATIBLE with MCE 2005. I found this funny because
Dell shipped my new computer with McAfee and MCE2005. Below is the actual chat session with the McAfee tech support:
>Please wait while we find a technician to assist you...
> You have been connected to Von Kildare.
> Von Kildare: Chris, thank you for contacting McAfee Online Support Center.
> How can I assist you with your McAfee software today?
> Chris: Since a McAfee update a few days ago, my Windows XP Media Center 2005
> logs a "code 3" error when I attempt to record a tv show. I checked on
> Microsoft's forums and others have reported the same problem. What do I do to
> rollback the latest McAfee update?
> Von Kildare: No McAfee products are comptible with Windows XP media center.
> Von Kildare: Sorry, compatible.
> Von Kildare: They will not work with this version of Windows XP.
> Chris: So the best solution is using an alternative antivirus software?
> Von Kildare: It depends on you.
> Chris: Why does Dell use McAfee with their Win XP MCE2005 computers?
> Von Kildare: I do not know that.
> Chris: Thanks, I will remove McAfee since I am still in my free trial period and
> let Dell know that they should not be using McAfee with their Win XP MCE2005
> systems.
> Von Kildare: Your reference number for this chat session is 15615282.
