Why am I getting the "Your device isn't fully protected" message on Windows 7?

Few months after bought your new computer, you will probably get a surprising popup window displaying the following message:

Don't panic. McAfee is using this popup to try to sell you their LiveSafe antivirus subscription package.

If you already installed other antivirus applications from McAfee or other vendors, you can simply click "Close" to close the popup.

1. Click "Start > All Programs > McAfee > McAfee LifeSafe". You see McAfee LiveSafe screen showing up with this message:
