McAfee ENHANCED PROTECTION MODE

"McAfee ENHANCED PROTECTION MODE" is a fake security warning designed to trick you into thinking that your computer is protected against malware. McAfee anti-virus doesn't have such protection mode, so this security alert is obviously fake and hides the presence of the malware in the system. If you've got this fake security alert then your computer is infected by a Trojan Horse.
