Go to the Mcafee site and look for uninstall and follow instructions.  You could also start with deleting the registry keys, go to "run" and type in regedit, look for any keys with Mcafee in it and delete, close and then go back to search and delete anything again with Mcafee in it and then try to delete in the add/remove program.  These instructions should delete entire program if that's what you want, but if you are only trying to delete a part of it, best to go to the site and get the instructions.

If you disable McAfee, then you computer will be suspectible to viruses.   That would be a really stupid idea. \n\nBut use RUN from your Start menu, and type MSCONFIG.  Go to the startup section and UNCHECK anything EXCEPT the McAfee programs.  \n\nThen run Ad-aware and SpyBot Search & Destroy and really clean things up. \n\nBy the way, why the heck are you restarting your computer all the time.  Once a day should do the trick.  If you are using a notebook, it should be connected to it's power plug.  You might also use SUSPEND mode.

Let me try to answer this. \nWhat I was told is to :-\n1) write down the full name of the virus as shown\n  by Zone Alarm\n2) Go to Window and do a search for this virus as\n   virus is just another file. \n3) When you locate it then you can delete or some\n   people call it uninstall.\n\nNote : step 2 and 3 were told to me by some one as\n       I am also having similar problem.\n       However I still do not know how to go about\n       executing step 2 or 3 myself. Perhaps if you\n       konw how , pls do teach me.

Definitely be worried.  If it can't be deleted then it is most likely a necessary system file.  Try running the scan in safe mode and delete it from there.  Enter safe mode by restarting your computer and pressing F8 at the POST screen.  Bascially safe mode only loads the most critical services, so it might mean that you can delete the file then.  You won't be able to have internet access in safe mode though.\n\nGo to http://www.ewido.com and download their scanner.  It works really well and you might be able to deal with it from there. \n\nMost likely though, you'll have to manually delete the file.  But fist, and this is important, find a good copy of the file.  This can be gotten off the XP CD, a friends computer, or search for the file on the internet and download it.  Then you can delete the bad file and replace it with the good one.  Just be sure not to reset your computer while you have deleted the bad one but havn't replaced it with the good one or you might not be able to start your computer.\n\nMcAffee isn't a Trojan Horse scanner, it's a virus scanner.  While it can detect them, it wasn't made for that.  Ewido is an Anti-Trojan scanner.  Another good one is Trojan Hunter.\n\nEven if it's updated it's still possible to get stuff.  This is because in order for the signatures (list of known virus's) to have that virus info, someone else has to get it or discover it first.  Look for products that have a heuristic scanner because then it is possible to catch the virus before it becomes listed in the signatures.

Get some kind of antivirus. I know for a fact McAffee will get rid of it and you can probably find it for less than $50.\n\nOr for free you can try.\nhttp://www.pandasoftware.com\nand for adaware which may fix some other problems you are likely having http://www.lavasoft.com/

McAfee has described this Trojan and how to remove. Further on there is a security patch from Microsoft (look under Tab Characteristics).\nhttp://vil.mcafeesecurity.com/vil/content/v_130604.htm

First - get a copy of a shareware / free trial of a registry cleaner (Ace Utilities is as good  as any ... see link).  Install registry cleaner - then reboot computer to safe mode.  Delete all program files for the anti-virus program you want to get rid of.  Run registry cleaner to remove all registry entries of the program - and that should do it.  Good luck!

Yes my computer became f*****g slow . No applications worked . I had to remove this damn thing ang then only everything returned to normal . I suggest you install AVG or Kaspersky but not the damn Mcafee

Get rid of McAfee and get AVG anti virus instead - it's free and doesn't do half the background crap that McAfee does.

well unlike the people who have tryed answering your question im going to answer it right. just go into McAfee program folder and delete one of the files. then restart the computer and it should not even run or will give you an error message. if it keeps on doing it then try deleting a nother file. if it does not let u delete any files go into safe mode and do it from there. if you still have problems email me and we will talk\n\nhope this answers your question

Go to the 'Quarantined Items' or 'Virus Vault' section of whatever antivirus you have got , select that trojan and click on 'Delete'. Thats all!

You should be able to delete it. I would suggest going to the McAfee help page online and see if there is a removal tool.  \nE

I recently had a similar problem.  It turns out my computer was infected with a trojan horse called Vundo.  I was able to download a removal tool from Symantec.com and that together with my McAfee antivirus software took care of the problem.  See everything you could possibly want to know about Vundo at the link below.

Depends entirely on the type of virus ... visit Symantec or Trend Micro and enter the name of the virus into their search engines ... you should be able to download a removal tool or at least instruction on how to remove it

It would be helpful to know what operating system you are using.\n\nI suggest rebooting in safe mode and uninstalling McAfee.  Then try to reboot.

if it's error message system32/service.exe it sounds like a registry issue, if so you need this free download\n\nhttp://mcafee-security.com/fixregistry_errors.htm\n\nIf that doesn't work then this link should help fix it. \n\nhttp://forums.kisland.com/read.php?f=4&i=863&t=673\n\ngood luck!
