McAfee is a security programming that recognizes and squares viruses. Mcafee activate offers advanced security solutions to computer users across the globe.

When the McAfee program runs actively on your device, then it automatically detects a problem with your PC. Sometimes when it detects a problem with your Windows PC, you see the “At risk" warning message along with an exclamation mark. This means the security of your device is at risk. The most obvious reason why your PC is undergoing this problem is that the firewall of McAfee is currently disabled or inactive.

There could be a few more problems with the firewall that are affecting the performance of your pc. In case, it is not installed and available for install, or you haven't installed it and it is not available for install as well. You can secure your network by deploying McAfee Antivirus that can be installed via McAfee.com/Activate.
