Use Avast Home - free and very good

Dell probably only included a copy on your hard drive which
was wiped when you formatted it.... use the Avast,

Why would you want to install McAfee again? Like Norton, McAfee isn't all it
is made out to be. There are a few 'free' alternatives in the anti virus
stakes, AVG is one (http://free.grisoft.com) and Avast (www.avast.com) is
another. Windows Vista has its own firewall, which is more than adequate and
it also has Windows Defender which protect you from spyware/malware.

Some of us got the McAfee Security Center with our Dell purchase. In order
to reinstall McAfee purchased through Dell, you need to go to the Dell-McAfee
website link shown below and log in to redownload without being charged again.
