Error Message Loading McAfee Anti-Virus Drivers (188241)

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, remove the references to McAfee Anti-Virus in the System.ini and Win.ini files. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.
2. On the Tools menu, click System Configuration Utility.
3. On the System.ini tab, double-click the [386Enh] folder, and then click the following check boxes to clear them:

   Device=mcfshook.386
   Device=mckrnl.386
   Device=mcscan32.386
   Device=mcutil.386
   Device=vshield.386

4. Click the Win.ini tab, double-click the [Windows] folder, and then click the Load= check box to clear it.
   
   NOTE: If you want some programs to load from the Load= line in the Win.ini file, you can edit the Load= line and remove the following entry:

   C:\Mcafee\Viruscan\Vshwin.exe

5. Click OK, and then click Yes when you are prompted to restart the computer.

If the issue is resolved, you may want to use System Configuration Editor (Sysedit.exe) to delete the lines you disabled in steps 3 and 4.
