Creating project, project creation failed visual studio

Problem

I am trying to make a C++ project. I click New Project... > Select Visual C++ from templates > Win32 Console Application > click ok. Then a little error message pops up at the bottom of the screen like this:

1

It does not matter what template I pick. Same thing happens if I choose an empty project.

What I have tried

I first encountered the problem after downloading Visual Studio 2015 Community edition. I then tried repairing it. Same problem. I then uninstalled and reinstalled and got the same problem. I then uninstalled and installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise edition. Still same problem. Then I uninstalled that I installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate edition. Still same problem. I am all out of ideas of ways to debug or try to fix this.

All I am going off of is that little error message at the bottom of the screen. I don't know if there are error logs somewhere in Visual Studio, so I can get a better understanding of why the project creation is failing. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

I currently have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate edition installed

I fixed it by installing CMake believe it or not. CMake installer found the pending McAffe installation for the user SYSTEM (whatever it means) and undo installation for SYSTEM. After that the problem was fixed. The bottom line the issue is might be anti-virus in your computer
