a screen appears: McAfee Security Scan Plus--with the message: "Scanning your computer for issues...Web threats scan:  0% complete."  The wheel keeps spinning, but there is no advancement in the completion percentage.  This screen reappears periodically.  The phenomenon leads me to doubt that my computer is being scanned.
