I have installed Windows 7 today after that I tried to install McAfee Anti Virus Enterprise Edition 8.5
Windows 7 prompted that this application has known compatibility problems with the application that you are trying to install. Considering this as problematic, I gave up and did not install the AntiVirus. Any one faced this problem and what is the solution?

Yeah, I had the same problem, though this was McAfee Security Center. I switched to Avast and that works fine. I've also tried Norton 2009 - works perfectly.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing you have with McAfee 8.5, but maybe this will help.

I ignored that warning but installed McAfee 8.5. It is not causing any problem. When I manually attempt to update it, it again shows the compatibility problem. I again ignored it and it updated the virus definition.
There is no working problem with McAfee 8.5 on Windows 7.

Use 8.7 and it will work. Ive got VirusScan enterprise 8.7.0i running on Windows Server 2008 R2 (windows 7 based). 8.7 runs fine. 8.5 does not work on that system.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
I've got VirusScan enterprise 8.7.0i running on my work PC and Mcafees online access scanner , turned on at reboot, magically turns off some time later. This causes the W7 Action center to issue warning messages and right now the only option is to reboot. Anybody else seen this?
