McAfee Security Center

Question

When i open my virus scanner(it opens and runs) and try to open my SecurtiyCenter(it doesn't open and doesnt run) the message appears: 'Some components of McAfee SecurityCenter are either missing or may not have been installed properly.   Please reinstall McAfee SecurityCenter.'   The only problem is i cant figure out how to reinstall it withn buying it again since i already had it on my computer when we bought it and we had are computer for about 2-3 years.So if anyone knows how to reinstall it  for free i could use the help, thanks!

If you are trying to uninstall Mcafee from windows XP, then basically you need to uninstall from Add Remove Prorams for which i m mentioning the Steps...if you wnt to view with pictures then i would ask you to click on the below link. The steps..for the uninstallation are...   Click on the Start Menu then select Settings and Control Panel (Figure 1).   The Control Panel window should now be open. Click on the Add or Remove Programs category if you have the control panel set to category view   double-click the Add or Remove Programs icon if you have the control panel set to classic view   Next, you should be prompted with a list of programs you currently have installed on your system. Navigate to and click on McAfee VirusScan Home Edition. The menu item should expand and you will be prompted with two choices, click on the Remove button   Next you will be prompted to confirm the choice of removing McAfee VirusScan Home Edition. Click Yes   The uninstall process should automatically remove McAfee VirusScan Home Edition, and once the process is completed, you will be prompted to restart your system. You may click Yes to restart your system immediately, or you may click No if you plan to restart later   McAfee VirusScan Home Edition should now be removed from your system.     https://hdc.tamu.edu/reference/documentation/?section_id=545

You should be able to download McAfee Security Center for free at:
http://us.mcafee.com/root/package.asp?pkgid=113&cid=9434

And if you have to reinstall VirusScan and their firewall, you should be able to log in and do that for free too as long as you've registered the software and your subscriptions haven't expired.
