Hi, If it was installed it will be on your add-ons page. As to tell if it is working issues can come up with not able to contact a site when try to go there, alerts given by it for bad websites. I maybe wrong not sure but a new search engine should be in your list of engines to choose from called Secure Search.

It should run pretty much silently as does Norton Safe Search unless it stops you from going to a page on it's revocation list.

I cannot find where the logs are kept for Mcafee. You would need to search the folders in C: for where it installed itself.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
