Important information about Windows XP
migration

Upgrading your computer's operating system from any version of Windows
to Windows XP causes all McAfee products installed before migration to
become disabled after migration to Windows XP.

You will be made aware of this situation as you make your first attempt to
start a McAfee product (after migration) - you will be instructed to reinstall the
product.

As such, you will need to uninstall all McAfee products and reinstall using
your installation CD or the software obtained from McAfee via download.
