I found this version installed ok and actually runs on the Mac I had problems with before, but I found it necessary to turn on the firewall every time I rebooted the machine. However, it seems now to have got over it's little tantrums and is working as it should. ( I hope I'm not speaking too soon!)
Hi,
Further to my previous reply, I have tried to follow your instructions again and have now been successful and the firewall now works. I just have missed out one of the steps before.

Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry about the delay in getting back to you, if you've experienced any issues getting the firewall enabled I'd recommend following this guide on the McAfee help pages.
Thanks
Neil
@lesliepfwrote:Completely incorrect to to say it is a total waste of time to install antivirus suites . They are not totally immune.
So which viruses in the wild are currently circulating on Macs? At best an AV may be able identify malware which Apple are pretty quick to patch. At worst they slow down a Mac.
Surely this is either trolling or off topic - either way it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
Hi Everyone,
Please keep it friendly and on topic, the thread is for the discussion of Mac Os 11 and the BT Virus protect firewall.
@kylerickards did you manage to enable the firewall?
Thanks
Neil

Seriously, advising that doing something isn't really worth the effort is trolling or off topic. I'm simply offering my view of decades of experience with Mac computers.
Hi Neil
I did finally but I still have the issue of the scan not fully completing - I can run another one now and report back?
