Hi:

 

Check your Windows Control Panel>programs and see if there is any trial antivirus software installed such as McAfee.

 

If there is, you will need to uninstall it before you can turn on the Windows security program.

 

You can use the McAfee uninstall tool to properly remove McAfee products from your PC.
