    Just renewed Security Center (Virus Scan Plus and firewall) this spring...unlike my previous McAfee program, this one only opens in normal mode. Safe mode is where I usually run my scans. Anyone have thoughts on this? Can't seem to find an answer in McAfee support or FAQs.

    Many programs don't run in safe mode and this may be normal for McAfee. If it used to run in safe mode, and now it doesn't, try uninstalling, and reinstalling. Use this for the uninstall: http://www.majorgeeks.com/McAfee_Consumer_Product_Removal_Tool_d5420.html
    It's probably best to scan in normal mode anyway, as some viruses won't be 'active' in safe mode and may not be detected....
