I cannot quite make out the exact message.
Perhaps the issue is due to another Security program already running on the system??
If that is the case, disable / remove the conflicting Security program.
Nonetheless, the apparent fix is to use McAfee support and tools to fix the problem.
Found this:
McAfee Consumer Support Center
Be careful of this one -- READ the details before you consider yanking the product off the computer:

@Dragon-Fur Thank you so much! After uninstalling the other virus protection program it worked! I didnt realize I had another virus protection installed until I went to the uninstall programs and saw it. so thanks a lot!
