I bought the Mcafee Security Suite in December from PC World and now find that I have a pop-up message from Mcafee, which I cannot disable, telling me to buy MSN Premium to protect my hotmail account from spam. All the mail in my inbox has been deleted and incoming mail is deleted asoon as I read it.

I cannot contact Mcafee either by the chat support service or by phone ( line out of service, apparently). Is this a conspiracy to coerce me into buying software I don't need having already bought some which should be protecting me? Is it a virus? If so, what do I do about it? How do I contact them and wring Mcafee's corporate neck ?
