How do I find the McAfee Uninstall. I saw it in the delete/change list but can not find it in the run list?

My computer>Control panel>Add-Remove programs (you can uninstall it from there by selecting its name in there and selecting the uninstall option). Optionally you can try to navigate to the McAfee's folder (generally under c:&#92;program files&#92;).. there might be an uninstall.exe file in there

I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.  I'm not too smart when it comes to computers so here's what I know.  It can be very dangerous to have two different anti-virus programs running at the same time. They can see one another  as a threat and they try to eliminate each other. Your computer can go into a loop and actually crash so you can't do anything else. It's very wise to remove an existing anti-virus before trying to install another.\n\nClick start > control panel > add/remove programs. Scroll down until you see McAfee. Click on the name to highlight it and you should see a button to Change, Remove, or Uninstall. Click on the button and follow the prompts.  If you don't see McAfee listed in the Add/Remove section, click start > all programs and look through your main menu and sub-menus for McAfee. When you find it, right click on the name and you should get a shortcut menu with an Uninstall or Remove option. You might also see something called ReadMe. The ReadMe file gives info about the program including uninstall instructions. I'd suggest reading this before doing the actual uninstall from the menu.  Once you've read the instructions you should be able to just click uninstall and follow the prompts. If you don't see McAfee in the Add/Remove section or anyplace in the menu, I'd suggest contacting McAfee for their expert advice. This link will take you to McAfee and there's a "contact us" link at the top right.\n\nhttp://www.mcafee.com/us/\n\nOnce you've uninstalled McAfee, you can install the anti-virus program of your choice. The two main ways to do that are by inserting a manufacturer's CD disk into your reader or downloading the program from the website to your computer. My personal preference is to use a CD because that way if something ever happens to your computer where you can't get to the website, you still have a way to get info and maybe even  connect with the company via the disk.  Either way, you'll get instructions on how to install.  Just follow the prompts.\n\nFonts are different styles and sizes of letters so when you compose documents and sometimes even emails, you can change how the individual letters and words look. If you have windows XP you have a whole bunch of fonts already installed that you can access when you're preparing a document.  You can look at the top left of your document screen and you should see something called "Format".  When you click on format another menu drops down and you can click on "fonts". You can play around with this by clicking start > all programs > accessories > notepad. Notepad is a simple word processing tool but you'll see "format" on the top and you can practice using it.\n\nTemplates are usually prepared documents that let you "fill in the blanks" to create personalized letters, contracts, etc. They're usually available with more advanced word processing programs (like Microsoft Office Word).  You find the template you'd like to use, save a copy of the blank template to your hard drive, and then use the copy to edit, "fill in the blanks", and customize it just for your use. When you've made your changes you save it again and you've got the finished document ready to be printed out or maybe sent as an email attachment.\n\nFinally, some applications use an export and import command to save and restore information.  For example, if you wanted to change  the Windows registry (which is the brains of the entire operating system), you'd probably want to "export" or save a copy to a CD before you do anything. That way, if you make a mistake editing the registry, you could "import" your saved copy and reinstall it so your computer will work the same way it did before you changed the registry.\n\nHope this helps and I didn't confuse you too much. If you have Windows XP there&#39

search on your PC right now for a file called MRT.exe. \n\nSTART > SEARCH\n\nThat's the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. It sucks but it is a start. When you find it, run it.\n\nReboot in Safe mode after that with networking enabled (hit F8 right after you start booting a couple of times and pick it)\n\nThen try Internet Explorer\n\nGo to www.filehippo.com\n\nGet \n\nAVG\nAdAware\nSpyBot\n\nAll are free\n\nInstall all three, run all three

Sorry, the instruction for RFA on how to remove all the fragments left behind with Nortons is at the bottom.\n\nIn my spare time I test antivirus/spyware programs to see if they perform as claimed. I can tell you that Nortons and McAfee, have been pure junk for years and each an every passing year they continue to get worse. \n\nNortons never knew a virus when it saw one, an is unable to remove anything. If it does it still in your system. Plus it is a hugh resource hog that only slows down your system. \n\nOne thing I can tell you is that I wish I never tested Nortons latest version, because it left me with 350 plus fragments in my system after I removed. The fragments were hidden and some were glued to my files and folders. Not even typing in on "run", c://program files, clicking on browser, opening program files and looking for "symantec". The file was there but it would not delete as it says, "file in use unable to delete".\n\nBeing that I consider myself an expert with computers I had to use my Registry First Aid, from http://www.rosecitysoftware.com\n\nThis is not a free program, but during the evaluation period it will help you to remove all those left behind keys that have "value", in your registry on an automatic basis. (I have used this program for nine years an I never had one wrong key removed. Plus it makes a backup of everything you delete).\n\nIf it is possible to shut down Nortons, as you can not run two antivirus systems at the same time. Will cause serious conflict with our pc. \n\nDownload the free home personal use of "Avast". It is state of the art technology that is far superior then any antivirus program you can purchase or get for free. They will ask you for your email address as they will send you a free key that is good for one year. After one year you must request another key. The corporate version is the same, they just make corporate. Plus you get daily auto updates sometimes twice per day. Excellent scan of your entire system.\n\nhttp://www.avast.com \n\nDon't go into the registry on a manual basis and try to remove the Norton keys as it is to dangerous. One mistake an you will have to reformat your entire system. \n\nDownload the Registry First Aid to get rid of the fragments while during the evaluation period. As you must purchase this software. If you decide to remove Nortons and download RFA, run, check the registry for errors, then open search the registry, and type in at the top, Nortons an click on add, then type in symantec and click on add. After the scan you will see all the registry keys come up associated with Nortons. Use your mouse to left click on the arrow pointing down. Open and drop down to where it will say, "delete string". This will remove the registry associated key. Do for each one and don't worry because you will have all backed up. \n\nYou can find your backup at: start., search for files, and type in "backups", when the scan is completed you will see, "RFA", open and there are your registry keys that you deleted. \n\nReboot your system always after a virus or performing a removal of registry keys. After the reboot an all works fine you can delete the backups if you

Get rid of McAffee it's garbage......program is a memory killer, not to mention that it's scanning and ability to find viruses is useless.  Go get NOD32 and be happy lol.\n\nhttp://eset.com

Many viruses shut down the antivirus program. Best to do an online scan to see if you have something.\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\nI had McAfee do the same thing to me before without a virus. I ended up having to reinstall it, then it was OK.

I tried Symantec, McAfee, and Kaspersky.  This doesn't show up anywhere.  I would guess it's something that's part of a valid application.

Try doing a de- fragmentation. Then go and clear all the temporary Internet files out. You may find that you have a spy ware programme on your comp. Do a spy ware check with yahoo Anti spy. It may help. I have a registry cleaner on mine and that takes a lot of disused stuff out as well. McAfee should have stopped any viruses, worms or trojans So I cant see it being that.

Based on this thread in this forum, it's spyware.\n\nhttp://www.mcse.ms/message2027273.html\n\nAlso, I would suspect ANYTHING that I don't recall installing.  So if you don't recall explicitly installing it ...

Security center requires that you first uninstall all mcafee products before you can uninstall the bloated and buggy security center. I would not reinstall the program at all. Even the free programs like avg, avast, and bitdefender are better than McAfee.

McAfee is a commercial software, so its not available for free.  You can download a paid version though from the following website.  You can scan your computer free on their website:

First try to remove the spyware with the McAfee program.\n\nIf it doesn't work, for other spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nUse these software programs to remove your spyware.  It should prevent your McAfee from warning you with those pop ups.\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.  Good luck and have a nice day!
