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:
