McAfee free 12 months - how?
I installed Sky broadband for my brother in law. Easy peasy, didn't use the CD. He has a brand new Dell and has just activated his 30 day free McAfee trial from that.
Now we want to get the free 12 months from sky: I tried installing the McAfee on the disk over the top, and it says that it is the wrong OS (it's Vista).
So - the question is - can we get the 12 months without re-installing McAfee? If not, what steps do we take to get 12 months installed?

Re: McAfee free 12 months - how?
you have to get the vista version to work (i found this out after upgrading but meh)
i think you can get it from a link on the sky.com site but not too sure - i just logged into my McAfee account and downloaded it from there (obviously have to have ur copy reg'd to do this)-------------------------------------------

Re: McAfee free 12 months - how?
Yes, we have McAfee installed on the PC - we just want to get the 12 months of free use. Is the only way of activating it to download the sky link and install that rather than the one we already have?
