My computer has been running more slowly than normal - i have gone through
all my programmes in the Add or Remove Programes feature in the Control Panel. I am stuck on my Mcafee Virusscan - it won't let me uninstall it and just sits showing the message 'Uninstalling McAfee Quickclean and Mcafee Shredder Components'. Am ashamed to say my Mcafee was a copy programme and my sneaking suspicion is that this is slowing my machine down, hence my trying to remove it. All that i have left is Mcafee Virusscan and the Security Center - everything else has gone. Please help!!!! |

Brute force - open Explorer and delete all McAffee folders then search the
registry for all referneces to McAfee and delete them. (Do not screw up the reistry or you may lose the ability to start Windows/) "shazamac" <shazamac@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:69C0A63B-D603-4F34-8BDC-7379217E3F01@microsoft.com... > My computer has been running more slowly than normal - i have gone through > all my programmes in the Add or Remove Programes feature in the Control > Panel.

This is where a registry fixer comes in handy. I use SystemSuite, v-com.com. You can easily look down the list of the fixer's results and easily identify McAfee. I used it to completely get rid of Norton off a machine one time. -- Alias Use the Reply to Sender feature of your news reader program to email me.
