The icon in the system tray is black and says "virus scan: Disabled". I open security center and click "enable" under virus scan but nothing happens.

Save yourself alot of time and stress and remove McAfee as it is junk just like Nortons which is even worse.
Want an antivirus program that I use an is used by the Government of China, go to: www.filseclab.com
Being a clinical psychiatrist I have a moral and legal obligation to keep my pc 100% clean from all virus/spyware/malware.
I tested every free and purchase antivirus system known. An I found only one that actually works 100%. Never had a virus or spyware in my system in nine years.
Go to, www.filseclab.com and download thier Twister AntiTrojan Virus program. (You will have to pay a small one time fee). You will never have to pay an annual fee for updates, support or new versions. The one time fee is for life. ($29.99)
The software company is located in Beijing, China. They have excellent support, frequent large signature updates an as always all new versions are free. No annual fee for anything.
Comes with a real time scanner that really works. Actually I am quite amazed over the nine years how well it works.
Scans memory on startup.
Real time scanning in the background.
Open any webpage with an embedded trojan/spyware or malware and scanner will clean on the spot. An It is really removed from your system.
Download any kind of program from zips, all compressed files, software files, music, etc,etc, an if there is a hidden embedded trojan,spyware,malware, this program will stop the download and clean. An will advise you to end the download.
Will even find a virus in the installer wizard, like "Wise Installer". And will stop the installation while it is being installed and clean. Plus this program always will trace back who installed the trojan.
I had a trojan in and wizard installer. Twister caught the trojan and stopped the installation. I wrote the origianl company and told them the wizard installer had an embedded trojan to steal your data. The company now uses thier own installer.
You can't beat this software for a one time purchase fee only. Actually I don't know of any antivirus progam that even comes close to this state of the art technology.
All I can say it is worth the one time fee. Your pc cost alot of money and you don't want it destroyed. Plus your privacy is protected at all times.
There is nothing in it for me to praise this program. I tell it like it is. If it is garbage then I will say so.

Because it is McAfee thats why.
Get AVG Anti-Virus. It is free, and protects from all viruses. Unlike McAfee and Norton, AVG protects against all viruses, while McAfee and Norton only protect against the ones their companies create. Yes they create the viruses becuse that way there is a market for their product. Believe it, I have taced the history of a couple of Trojans and viruses and they lead back to McAfee Labs.
AVG is fast, reliable, and constantly there. It has regular updates (every 2 days on average), and it comes with an e-mail scanner for use with programs like Outlook, and Express.
It is available for free from http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-free

are you sure it is disabled, mines does the same sometimes; it is black and when i open it , it is enabled. You may need to re-boot your computer again to reset it.
