Answer 2

You can reinstall the program and then delete the entire program. Or you can go to start, run and type: c://program files, click on browse and click on program files. When program files open look for Mcafee, file and delete the file.

Next to to start, search and type in Mcafee, and let your pc search for all related Mcafee files. When they appear delete all related files to Mcafee.

Unless you know what you are doing I don't want to tell you how to remove the with typing in "regedit", in your run and click on "ok". You may remove the wrong registry key and really have problems.

Solution one.........Reinstall the complete program and then delete it again, only don't disturb it until it's done.
Solution two........Get a program called GiPo Move On Boot. Install it, launch it, drag the files you want deleted into the text box, click OK, and reboot. Your files will be gone. Hope this has helped.

There is a difficult way and an easy way.
The difficult way is to find the folder in program files and delete it and then go into your registry and delete references to it.
Messy and difficult.

The easy way is to reinstall it completely and then uninstall it.
