I cannot get McAfee off my computer. I have done the control panel uninstall thing, also gone into agent and deleted the files etc. My computer is so messed up with it on there I am using a different computer to even get this message out.

I discovered remnents of a previous version of the program. It probably didn't matter if they remained, but I went ahead and removed them.

McAfee has uninstall instructions for all of its programs. (Some of them are "manual" uninstall procedures for those times when the standard uninstall doesn't work correctly.) Please tell us exactly which Internet Security Suite you have installed? McAfee recently did an automatic upgrade of all the Virus Scan 8, 9, and 10 versions which were included in earlier Internet Security Suites. They upgraded to VS 11/ISS 9. It's caused major issues on a lot of machines.

RIGHT click on the red "M" in the lower right corner, choose "Virus Scan", choose "About" and tell us the "build" number. If you've got the exact Internet Security Suite number, that would help also.

The strangest part.. They don't have the full uninstall instructions yet for the newest Virus Scan 11/Internet Security Suite 9...even though they released it about two weeks ago. Still, I should be able to help.

Hope this helps and let us know more.

But first, it would be nice if we knew the operating system you're using????

Basically, the McAfee uninstall instructions tell you to open the Control Panel, double click on "Add/Remove Programs, then uninstall each of the separate parts of the Security Center in the order below:

* McAfee Privacy Service
* McAfee Personal Firewall Plus
* McAfee SpamKiller
* McAfee VirusScan
* McAfee SecurityCenter

There are separate manual uninstall procedures for each one which can be looked up on the link below:

For example, as to your VirusScan 10 version.(You'll see a link to the Cleanup tool.):

It is long and convulted you can get the 4 page instructions from McAfee website
I've been there and know what you are going through
It is a Registry delete and you have to search for the items manually one of them is entered over 300 times in different locations
Take car in deleting and Good Luck
