Solved: malware protection
My Windows security centre shows- under the heading -'Malware Protection'
That windows did not find antivirus software on this computer.
Under this in separate box is the following- Spyware and other malware protection
Windows defender and Mcafee virus scan both report that they are turned on.
Can anybody advise me - my Mcaffe shows that i am protected.

My system is windows Vista Basic.

Problem solved.-- Uninstalled Mcafee license due to expire anyway.
Installed Avira premium 3mths free promo. Windows security centre now shows all sections protected. I can only assume that Mcafee was effecting it some how.
Thanks for all readers.
